If you have 5000 departures and 99% completion factor, you canceled 50 flights.
If you have 5000 departures and 99.5% completion factor, you canceled 25 flights.
So the other operation cancelled twice as much flights.
There is no scheduled departures v. actual departures comparison, but the completion factor gives us a very good indication of it.
You see 0.5% and consider it a "rounding error", but the mainline carrier sees a 100% difference in performance.

Yes four cancellations for AA and seven for UA for the month of September. ROUNDING ERROR.

I'm talking about September data, can't YOU read, Sunnyboy?
Sept 2019 vs Sept 2020. Block hours, Sunnyboy.

Hint: Don't look at CCF, just the CF. CCF is fluff. CF is what anyone cares about.
You delay a flight by an hour because of weather, but you dont have reserves to cover for it if the crews misconnect or time out. It becomes an uncontrolled cancellation. All well run regionals run CFs very close to CCF. CCF is their excuse, CF is how the carrier really performs.
If you work for an AAG carrier, you can look at the raw data and you see what is going on.

You might want to check your math.

I don't, I work for a part 91 company with three planes. Our department head would love to have a completion factor above 98%. We still have execs having to commercial (not fun right now) due to mx needs or pilot availability. I can see that CF is worse but a touch over two flights per day doesn't seem all that egregious. I guess Mesa will be losing AA after all. When is the contract up?

What’s your point? UA has more block hours than AA. Is that your point? You want to beat me up with statistics then detail your argument. I don’t have time to try to read your mind. What are you seeing that indicates the AA side of the house isn’t worse than the UA side?

Name calling says more about you than me.

American side 39% down
United side 41% down
(from Sept 2019 compared to Sept 2020)
So United side has lost more flying when you claimed it was the other way around.
Your misinformation was that American side is way worse in September and going forward to October.
That is simply not true.
United has 80 planes, American side operates less than 65. Of course, United side has more block hours.
I called you Sunnyboy because I thought you called me such. Apologies to that, as that was another member calling you that.
However, when I call you Sunnyboy, you get upset.
Things that make you go hmmmm!

Good news everyone (in professor Farnsworth voice)
November flights have been loaded into FTweb. Looks like an increase in flying on the American side so far.
Looking at Wednesday the 11th Thursday the 12th and Friday the 13th I'm seeing 66, 63, and 76 departures from DFW. And 29 each day from PHX. Flights in PHX are considerably longer as well with flights to BOI CID FAR FSD GDL MCI MSN MZT and TUL all clocking in at considerable lengths. DFW sees 2 daily BFL flights MSN multiple times a day the returns of MZT and TYS and a couple of Saturday ZIH to our route network. Total flights appear to be a little above what our September schedules were this year.
