when the company cares more about completion factor than ontime performance, you better bet they'll do their best to get the plane out...even if it's delayed until midnight.
This last 3 day of mine, we were late every leg, were catching up with it by the end, but with the non-english-proficient dulles employees, even our last flight (which should have been 5 minutes late) was delayed an extra 20 minutes.
I'd guess that most problems are maintenance related, as that's what's caused the other delays i've had for the last couple weeks. best of luck.

I hope you remembered to hook up the ground power and turn off the APU to conserve fuel while you were there Navy. Of course doing so would require you to speak 5 languages. 
Short of last week when the planes were grounded, I've never had a problem riding on TSA unless the flight was full.

HAS to be never going through IAD or ORD on the UA side... Take ORD and IAD out of the equation and UA flying is a blast! The ops guy that works nights in DEN should be sent to ORD and IAD to train those ops guys how to "operate."
All that and having to speak 10 languages is kinda hard when you only have 30 minutes to turn.

well...if you pull the breaker for the ACARS, the ACARS won't work, which wouldn't really help you get in or out of anywhere quicker...unless you just called the times in and fudged it by a couple minutes....and that's just NOT right!
