For the record, my last 3 day had only 2 on time departures. (out of 12 legs)

I am eager to hear some news on these latest arbitrations.... Even just 1 in our favor will greatly change the negotiation climate around here.

Personally, I'm dissappointed...it should be in the 50-60% range I believe. We still must have CA's trying to "help" the company rather than be professionally safe. Feb. should be worse especially with the rash of "helpful" memos we get on a weekly basis.
Maybe the company's on time performance is around the 50% range...they count any length beyond sched. dept./arrival as a delay not the DOT's 15 min.
