Cleveland Hopkins airport wins United's on-time STAR Award for 5th straight month

"Cleveland Hopkins International Airport may be the smallest of United Airlines' eight U.S. hubs, but it is trouncing its bigger and busier siblings for getting early-morning flights out on time. For the fifth straight month, Cleveland's flight operations team beat its peers at Washington Dulles, San Francisco, Newark and other airports for getting United's first flights of the day on their way as scheduled."

I'm sorry, but this is a "non-story". The phrase "...but it is trouncing its bigger and busier siblings..." sorta tells all.

Look...CLE (KCLE) was once a minor UAL (pre-CAL merger) hub, then UAL pulled out, and CAL moved in. circa sometime in late 1990s (IIRC). Now, post-merger? Gee-whiz, the 'traditional' and legacy HUB (and headquarters of UAL), ORD (KORD) is virtually next door to CLE.

Regardless of its (KCLE) history, being the "smallest" and achieving a 'superb' "Early Start" (or, whatever they're calling it nowadays...oh, how 'clever': "STAR"?

As in, "Start The Airline Right"? Gee, isn't even grammatically correct, but it's a catchy acronym, for sure. Pffffft! Some 'middle manager' might have thought it up, then been passed over for a promotion when another usurped the "idea". Sorry to sound "cynical", but seen too much of this 'eyewash' before.....

At least you're not taking it personally lol.

Everything you need to know about Cleveland can be obtained from this video. A word of caution, there is some language that my be offensive but its only like two words.
