Default Downgrades and no new deliveries.

CommutAir is downgrading and not receiving new aircraft for at least 4-5 months.

Can you blame United for not giving them more planes? They are constantly the worst of any UAX partner (its primarily management, not lack of effort by the crews). The fact that ExpressJet was extended to 2021 with 125+ planes says a lot.

To be fair...
100% controllable completion for the month.
88.1% STAR:0 for the month.

Haven't seen worst than 6 out of 9 the entire month. Despite what I have to say about the company, the operation is actually getting better (for a variety of reasons).

If C5 wants to fix staffing issues quick (A far cry):

1. United just buy C5 fully
2. Throw in a flow
3. Throw in a Endeavor TA

Despite the disagreements with some about the idea, flood gates would be open in a matter of weeks.

We will see how that trend goes when the winter months get here.

You just can't accept that there has been an improvement can you?

What is this “entire month” you refer to? October when the weather is generally calm? Like I said, let’s see how it goes when the winter weather kicks in on top of the mass exodus of pilots. If C5 is 6:9 in November thru February, I’d 100% agree with you. It’s a bit premature to say the operation is improving during the nicest weather of the year...

It's the nicest weather for everyone, not just C5. It's a level playing field.
Company has been 3/9 - 6/9 every day this month.

HA! Remember your “level playing field” argument in January when it’s bsck to 9:9. You can’t say “it’s because of EWR, etc etc”.
