AA and UA are effectively the same when it comes to delay percentage, but UA cancels less. The average delay on AA is however the lowest and they have the greatest percentage of delays attributable to weather rather than mex. DL has a far greater percentage of mex relative to all its delays. This idea that AA is far behind DL and UA in timeliness is really not entirely borne out by the stats and doesn't mean Parker needs to be fired (although there may be other reasons that could be the right thing to do). How many issues one experiences also depends heavily on the market one flies out of and into...I fly in and out of EWR and UA has been super unreliable for me the last year or two on the outbounds. SO last year I started flying AA out of EWR and I have had a huge improvement with reliability as a result. YMMV...there is no universal truth. But all that whining gets on my nerve...if you don't like it, just put your dollars where the reliability is.



Brutal. Worth mentioning that this post was not written by Ben, but rather his contributor Andrew. As a resident of TX, I can confirm that bugs are a part of life here even if you have Terminix treat the outside of your house quarterly. When it rains heavily or it gets very dry, it drives bugs indoors. And it always will....OH...and my 8-year old daughter would have handled this situation far better than Andrew...
