OMG, is this thread going to turn into a thread about how ACARS airlines have skewed ontime performance? Saabs don't have ACARS but send the times electronically with no way to manipulate. Mesaba still turns in some of the best OT performance out there. I know it's easy to say that airlines that don't have hubs in the east coast corridor are in a different league for OT performance. Maybe it just boils down to a good operation? Even in the brutal winters that DTW and MSP have, NWA and their Airlinks still put up some great OT stats. No matter which way you look at it, the whole operation contributes to the OT performance of an airline.

At this point in the game it is good for us to continue with industry leading performance numbers. We all know that the company will drag their feet as long as possible, so its clear we shouldn't worry about proving our worth to the company. The reason why we need to continue with industry leading performance is to show the mediator that industry leading pilots deserve an industry leading contract!!! IF we had no chance of getting released by the NMB the best way to a contract might be different, but at this stage of the game its our best bargaining chip at the table in DC on the 25th.

Why are we getting into a p!ssing match over On Time numbers? Does it really matter?
9E pilots are not going to get a contract any time soon. We are in a damned if we do, damned if we dont situation. If we keep our numbers high, we look good as a group and can have that going for us at the table.
If we could ever get a decent "safety campaign" going we could force the company's hand. But do you really think Phil and Clive care? They have already made their millions. Pinnacle is their pet project, if it tanks, so what? They have made their money.

You are absolutely right, the company won't settle till the Mediator releases us. We have a better chance of getting released with industry leading performance than being the worst...

With the current leadership in the NMB, you don't have a chance of being released at all.
