Number one in completion factor in 2024. Number 4 in on time in 2024. All improvements. There is always room to do better. Financial performance though, that needs a lot of improvement. Color on that at the end of month. Earnings estimates were in the high 20’s per share. It’s now been upped to 44 cents per share.
