Meh. Almost always not how it works though. These decisions can also be filtered down to case by case: Pilot to GA: "Hey the company told me there will be some runners. Based on our flight plan and the fact that the airport is using runway XXX we'll be able to make up 20-30 mins off the gate lets relax the D-10 and get those pax on board."
Plenty of times I’ve had flights held because of connection saver and still managed to land at the destination airport early…

United adds a lot of extra buffer into the scheduled block time. It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison.

While listening to the 2nd quater analyist call, I was surprised to hear that our ex-fuel and special items unit cost was down .1% YOY. Not sure what the special items were. Sounds like a revenue problem.

"Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.7%, and we produced an adjusted operating margin of 9.7%. Our unit cost, excluding net special items and fuel, was down 0.1% year-over-year."

It's not just our sales & distribution strategy. Customers don't want our products because the customer experience is poor. I wish leadership would take some time to really understand what all the pain points are for our customers, and why the experience is subpar. Not just our hard product, also our soft product.

Then he ignores the fact that there was always an extra gate agent when he flies, usually an extra clipboard person, and the entire crew gets a phone call in advance telling them someone from senior management is going to be on their flight, and often they recrewed those flights with the top team of FAs.
No surprise it was always smooth, it just didn't represent reality in any way.
