It seems that the AC Express schedule (not sure if that is included in the numbers) in Alberta is so tight that they invariably run behind if there is only a slight delay.
That would be a good excuse for AC, wouldnt it be?
Here are 4 random routes from this week, I would expect the pattern to be the same elsewhere - ie. a wash between the two
I would actually argue that Westjet should is far more vulnerable to weather - a higher percentage of all their flights operate in Canada/cold parts of the US. But yet, every single month, they come out far ahead of AC in the rankings.
