This is ridiculous! [Flight cxl stats]
From Jetblue -
RDU-JFK Flt #1108
58.1% on-time arrival
35.5% with arrival delay of more than 30 minutes
9.7% cancelled
How can you cancel a flight almost ten percent of the time?
This is the last flight of the day from RDU to JFK. That means you have a one in ten chance of paying for a hotel room to hopefully get back the next day. That hotel room will cost more than your flight.
I am glad I clicked on the flight number and checked these stats. I will not be flying Jetblue to RDU.

LOL, no they don't. The government doesn't let airlines do this.

It seems whenever JetBlue has multiple flights for a day the last flight out always has a high % of delay / cancellation while all the earlier flights are fine.

This was the first time I noticed the option of clicking on the flight number to see the flight stats. I clicked on a lot of flights to a lot of cities as I was planing multiple trips that day and this is the only flight that had a cancellation percent shown.

Hmm... United does it all the time. Change the flight by a couple minutes and change the flight number 2 or 3 days out of the week. It's very frustrating trying to keep track of all the changes - but whatever, I really don't care either way.
