Do you avoid high-delay airports?

OAK and SJC have much better on-time records, and OAK is about the same time from downtown San Francisco as SFO is.

i am finding that AA out of DFW is quite prone to delays. Even on segments where WN has ON-FREAKING-TIME flights from DAL to the same destination!!! The only times I fly are generally evenings (sunday night and thursday night), and these seem to be the ones most likely to be weather-ed.

Usually, I avoid LRH, LAX and ORD......and I've managed to stay out of LAX for about a decade.
My attempts to avoid ORD have failed lately: getting rerouted through it twice, and having it as destination soon. Also, the LRH scheme has failed with having it as destination recently....
But to the original question: yes
When going to SF, I sometimes pick SJO over SFO, although SFO is not too bad....

I avoid ORD. I find that when they need a plane, or the airport is having problems the ORD-MKE flight is always the first canceled because they can just bus the pax to MKE
