Don't think for one second that if the RLA goes away, with it will go the strength of unions and ability of workers to unionize.

Over zealous crew member = 6 MELs and the typical 1.5hr delay.

So a simple power down or CB issue turns into a 2 hour delay in JFK while they wait for MX to come over from LGA. I haven't looked at the performance numbers in a while, but last time I checked, I remember us being pretty close to last place.

I don't know what to tell you. XJT has had the best controllable completion factor for UAL for the last 13 months. That doesn't happen with the types of things you are describing. Like I said, the XRs were the aircraft that were in the best shape of all of them. And it makes sense since those were the "newer" aircraft out of all of them. They rarely had any MELs either. And if they did, it was usually some Non-Essential Furnishing in the cabin. Also, the envoy aircraft were in good shape (and very clean inside as well) but admittedly, that was after going through our maintenance checks. The Eagle operation has a consistent controllable completion factor of around 99.6%.
