I believe they are counted against us in terms of ontime performance.
So when you consider that EWR is hit with the most delays in the United system (Dulles is 7th) and 60% of our flying is based in EWR then it's not so hard to see why we score where we do. Those other regionals that fly into EWR are able to spread their performance over more bases too. United is well aware of this.

As stated above, ERJ upgrade awards are out. The most Jr person on that list was hired 7/2016. We went from a 2 year upgrade back to a one year upgrade in one months time.
The Jr ERJ CA is still a 10/3/2016 new hire.
The JR Dash CA is a 4/10/2017 new hire.
PS. Would you guys leave the United FO alone. The poor guy flunked out of upgrade too many times as it is and now he is very disgruntled with the world.

I think he did explain it. If another airline also operates out of IAH and 100% of those flights are on time, then it raises the overall percentage of the delayed flights out of EWR.

How was that not clear?
In regards to GDP, United decides which of the regional flights get hit in order to protect their slots. And in most cases, they chose the flights with the shorter stage lengths (i.e. real regional routes), because it costs them less to cancel those. Which probably leads C5 to be hit harder than other regionals since most of our routes are truly regional in nature.

Doesn't explain why the jet still gets massive delays. I was talking about total delay minutes. Say regional XYZ does 728 flights a day and c5 does say about 160. Regional XYZ flies out of ewr too granted with other bases but still flies a similar number of EWR flights compared to c5s total flights. Why would c5 have a more significant amount of delays then XYZ? You guys answer like it's all daddy United's fault why your numbers are so poor.
