Complained about having to respond to info requests on delays. 3 years later we were a on time machine and yields went from well below industry average to industry leading.
This place used to be fun. And let's not forget no airline was good from 2001-2012ish.
Not gonna argue RA - I wish he was back.
As far as your other thing about on time departures/arrivvals. It's still a thing. Come in from ZUR and wait 45+ minutes for a gate. Nothing new and the analytics ain't gonna solve it. Remember the dwell time push?
PS- ditch the P codes
