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.

I like that GPU taxi idea.

I never get why smpay always defends this place.
