Curious what a quantitative data source would show comparing the two.
I feel that SFO's reputation is worse than reality.
I've lived here for more than a decade and have experienced not even an handful of weather related delays arriving or departing. I know we have clouds. I know we have fog. I see it every day. And, yet, I simply have not encountered many weather related delays!
Maybe it's because I usually leave in the morning before the fog arrives and usually arrive at night when the fog has settled and traffic is low?
I do agree that UX is much worse than mainline. Including here. It seems like UX is just delayed, period, regardless of any other factor.
