I thought coming in with an engine running and keeping it running until ground power was a very unusual procedure at any airline and only used when APU or APU GEN is out. Never with a perfectly operable APU turned off.

I can’t imagine this being a normal thing anywhere, is it at F9? The risks are just too high for FOD, or personal injury or death for a few gallons of fuel and APU cycles. Especially if half the jets are doing it one way and the other half the other, station ops personnel can and do make mistakes. BHM had a bad one not long ago.

You couldn't be more wrong, our metrics have been great... We hit the MBR 3-4 times I think since June.

He doesn’t work at either. He’s a Riddle aviator obviously.

Hold the phone…we actually cancelled less than 1% yesterday. Things are looking up!

Just disregard the fact that we flew 15% less flights that day.

We actually had some of the highest percentages I have seen so far this summer yesterday.

high head starts, high completion. But somehow our on time departure and arrival was like 40 and 50%???? Says something about our 45 min turns and contract employees...

Watching them move the goal posts for the contest that nobody was going to win, and then have to move them a couple more times has been entertaining. What are they giving out? Miles? The only miles any body wants is the distance they can get from the next daily disaster a fabulous Frontier Airlines.... A Tic Tok sensation! So I hear...
