When you look through the statistics, Southwest has the more reliable and accommodating network.
I may beg to differ.
According to the statistics any individual passenger is about as likely to be delayed on Frontier as Southwest. You are correct than in the event of a cancellation Southwest is more likely to be able to accommodate passengers. Frontier's system incorporates fewer connections and I would guess has fewer on average mis-connections than Southwest, but that statistic is not reported.
