But the 5 days there is no early fog the flight leaves right on time, then that flight is considered on time 100% of the time.. How ridiculous........
Sykes is correct. Airlines don't get to submit certain data and exclude wx/atc. If that was the case airlines with hubs in ewr/JFK/lga would have HA like ontime numbers. They all count. Heck, even ord, with the Obama related atc issues doesn't get to exclude delays that are caused by presidential fundraising/campaigning trips or weekends home. They all count.
