Get rid of ACARS and magically you'll be at the top of the "on time" metric.
That is, of course, if your pilot group is happy with the contract and there's no negotiations pending!
ACARS, wussies!!!!!!!!

I am sorry Doug but those numbers are US GOVERNMENT Department of Transportation information and are very important numbers with legal ramifications if not reported accurately.
Oh YOU know!

Speaking of CRJ flap failures there is a good read in this months Airline Pilot (the ALPA mag) about a AC Jazz crew that had the flaps fail at 40 and not retract while approaching an airport that just below mins. The write-up was for the Superior Airmanship Awards.
....and Ops Comair 310, on at 20, in at ehh 6 and 14 is 20, make it 18 and 20.

No ACARS always = 15 min early off, 15 min late arrival. maybe.

I don't know if you've heard why they have to call their times on the ramp frequency. When they were calling ops they were exaggerating them big time, now when they call for their push or call inbound they can't cheat much more than 5 minutes. My neighbor works the ramp and up in ops sometimes for mainline and he was asking about them lying about their times.

Lying about the times will get you in trouble.
Five minutes here or there to cover for a bag/pax that might have a tight connection is something you can cover, once in a while.
You better call accurate times or you will get attention called to yourself.

Absolutely true.
At ASA you can be paid premium. If you fly a leg under block, the amount you fly under block is added to your monthly guarantee (this only works if you fly less than 75 hours/month).
One crew got kind of creative about it and started calling "in the gate" while still in the air. Well, wouldn't you know it- they had to do a go around once. ATC called flight ops to tell them about the go-around. Flight ops said that was not possible as the airplane was in the gate.
The flight crew was terminated and the FAA took action against the pilots for falsifying aircraft logbooks.
Yeah, a minute or two here or there probably won't get you in trouble. But it is not worth the small amount of pay to do more than that.
Besides, integrity is not what you do when others are watching. It's what you do when no one is watching.

Don't have a speed reset quickly, but you don't technically have to remove the flex. Just hit the button next to "TO" on the thrust limit page, and the original TO carats pop back up.
The thing I hate about ACARS here at Pinnacle is load control has to do our weight and balance. If the gate agent decides to go to break early without sending them our numbers, we're stuck on the de-ice pad waiting and occasionally harassing operations until they can track them down. Ramp tossed on a last minute bag and forgot to tell you, thus making you weight 1610 instead of 1590? Can't go anywhere until you get that fixed. And they wonder why we've got such a high APU usage.....

Yeah, Aerodata is the bomb diggity yo.
We were about number 10 in CLT the other day with 9 Airbuses in front of us.
"USXX1 do you have your numbers? No? Ok."
"USXX2 do you have your numbers? No... ok."
"Does anybody have their numbers yet? Bluestreak, you do? Excellent, back taxi into position and hold."
