AS last in on time performance in May
Alaska Airlines on time performance for May was 59 percent placing it last among 20 major airlines in statistics compiled by the Department of Transportation. Next lowest was Independence Air at 78 percent; the average of all airlines was 83.7 percent. Alaska's average at Phoenix was 43 percent; the average of all airlines at Phoenix was 86 percent.
"In May, Alaska Airlines canceled 301 out of 12,796 flights, making it the third-highest percentage of cancellations. Alaska had the second-highest percentage of complaints per 100,000 passengers against the company during May. Compared to last year, the company was ranked in the top three airlines with the fewest complaints. Finally, Alaska Airlines was one of three domestic airlines that reported a pet death." http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/...50708027.shtml |
One can only hope it gets better from there; 59% is just unconscionable.

They made changes to the schedule, but not until earlier this week. So expect June's stats to be bad as well, but hopefully we'll see improvements in July.

if it makes you feel any better, the stats may not be that meaningful. for example, hawaiian got 1st place in on-time. however, the majority of their flights are inter-island, of 20 minutes duration, and almost never have weather. someone on the ha board recently analyzed and found that hawaiian would have been last in the prior results had the inter-island portion been removed. liars figure and figures lie.

At those airports, the average was 83.4%, and AS had 58.9% on-time performance. In fact, AS's performance managed to singlehandedly put SEA's performance into the most delayed airport in the country (behind typical winners such as LGA and EWR). - SEA had 71.5% on-time performance on 8,765 arrivals - AS at SEA had 56.9% on-time performance on 3,839 arrivals So, if you pull AS's numbers out of there, without AS, SEA would have had 82.9% ontime performance on 4,926 arrivals. I wonder if the airport authority is at all concerned with this. |
