When it comes to the performance #'s there has been a lot of crap when it come to the gate agents putting in delay codes to try and push the delays on ASA. Not sure whats up with that but, geesh...........these people have no integrity. There have been several times that the gate or the ramp has failed to achieve their jobs so that the aircraft can depart at D0. This has been happening a lot lately, weather it be a Delta gate or some other regional gate (ASA has little to no gate agents or rampers esp. in ATL FYI). When I get to my destination the crew awaiting our delayed flight asks why did we request a delay in boarding or which crew member was sick, or the imfamous crew late completion of checklists. Never do they admit to their wrong doing and put in the right delay code which would put the delay on Delta, not ASA. I have seen lots of that lately and I assume that it has a bunch to do with the #'s we have been getting.

I have mentioned it to crews as well when they arrive late due to late departure and the delay was put on them as the crew. They explain they had nothing to do with it and put in the proper delay code which was somehow over ridden. They just shrug it off and don't really care any more if that is happening. This might turn into an issue down the road especially now that it is taking money from our perf. plus checks when we miss the goals by like .001%. That's like 3 flights for the month.
