Where are we going? and How are we going to get there?

Clearly JB prioritizes other things over on-time. They'll rally the troops all they can to improve on-time but they won't do it at the expense of aircraft utilization or the expense of losing revenue. They know the tipping point better than you or I. All they care about is making the most $ per customer, and they're accomplishing that better than many "real airlines." I do encourage you to update your logbook and resume though, many posters here seem to find it cathartic.

Even 4.4 percentage points behind the next worse.
65.8%???
Difficult to get much better when a huge percentage of our flights operate out of the most delay plagued airports in the country. But, that was our company's choice.
