Well, my experience is limited to my experience, but Express Jet seems to do a lot better. I'm sure it would have to be a number of different carriers for all the different routes though.
Skywest, I think, flies some of the other ORD-SDF flights, for example.
I don't have any strong feelings on the UX carriers, but I've noticed more problems with Trans States. I have no idea if they are worse overall than the others, just that I personally notice more problems.

I'm surprised these operators don't have a UPS. It should be a condition of their contract with United (or Delta, American) that they can be back on line within, say, 10 minutes.
The other option would be a back up SOC.

JBord,
you are correct...when i'm stateside i fly to cities that are primarily served by transtates and gojet, they made my life a living hell over christmas break, skywest and expressjet imo run a much better operation than those, a few observations i have noticed is gojet seems to stretch their 25 plane fleet out very thin on united where delta gojet seems to concentrate their flying to east of STL, flying into stl i've seen the plane come in from jackson fl, go to stl then onto denver and missoula mt. based on my past experience with maintenance issues and crew time outs with them that leaves alot of opportunities for a gojet issue somewhere between jacksonville and missoula.

No way to avoid them and keep flying UA or no way to avoid them as they are the only commercial service from your airport?

Commutair operates Dash-8s (Q200/Q300) for UAX (with E145s entering the fleet this month).
