The DOT reports that US was #1 among the 10 largest carriers in on-time performance for March, its third time winning the top spot in the past four months. This also makes makes it the top airline for the first quarter of 2008. 79.1% of their flights were on time in March, compared to last March when they finished in the 10th slot with only 55.5% on time.
This really doesn't say much for the U.S Airline system....The best scored only scored a C+. If I remember correctly that wasn't something to be proud of in school.
Sad indeed. Actually the overall best scored an A: Hawaiian had a 95% rating. US was a distant second overall with 77%, which was good enough for the top spot among the 10 biggest. Unfortunately you can't fly LGA-DFW on Hawaiian...AA's NY-Dallas flight was late 93% of the time.
Its late 100% of the time when I fly it......Quote:

Maybe you're the reason it's always late :DQuote:

Btw so far for May 72pct is the pct of departures that pushed back either exactly on time or early, again pretty impressive numbers.
And for those who say May is a slow month (it is slower than some) for the same 8 days load factor was 79.1 pct, not exactly empty airplanes.
