ASA worst airline according to AQR

[Airboss]

Airline Quality Rating report for 2007
http://www.aqr.aero/aqrreports/AQR2007full.pdf

Atlantic Southeast Airlines (EV) [FONT=Arial,Arial]was included in the AQR for the first time in 2003. On-time performance was 66.0% (lowest of all carriers rated) in 2006, compared to 70.9% in 2005. Atlantic Southeast’s denied boarding performance was worse for 2006 (4.47 per 10,000 passengers in 2006 compared to 1.57 in 2005). Their mishandled baggage rate of 17.37 per 1,000 passengers is nearly three times the industry average rate of 6.50 bags per 1,000 passengers, and is similar to their 17.41 rate in 2005. Atlantic Southeast’s customer complaint rate of 0.74 complaints per 100,000 passengers was also worse than their 2005 rate of 0.58. Atlantic Southeast continues in 2006 (as in 2005 and 2004) to have the worst AQR score of any airline rated.

Classic. We suck

 

[atlcrashpad]

Bout time sum juan stood up an Recognized ASA fo der purformunce.... Yeah Bouyyyyyyyyy....

 

[79%N1]

A proud, proud day for sure! Lots of back slapping over at the GO!

 

[rightseatjocky]

Let's Go Ahead And Promote Someone Else To Coo Due To Their Piss Poor Performance. That Must Be How You Get Promoted At Asa, You Have To Be A Failure In Other Positions.

Atlantic Southeast Airlines is taking a beating on CNN. Every half hour they are broadcasting that ASA ranked worst in all catagories out of 18 airlines. What will JA (SkyW) do about that?

 

[proftomda]

Flew with a captain in march that swears that after 7 years with ASA, on time performance means absolutely nothing, no fines etc, so what the incentive to change? Two hours late to ATL last night and as usual, no parking spot. Whats another 40 minutes when your 2 hours late?...

Delta holds a large share of the blame, owning the company for years and permitting a totally incompetant ramp management team to blunder its way, day after day, in a classsic case of reactive mismanagement.

Very well put.

 

[flylowman]

But the good news is. We can only improve from worst. I doubt it though.

ASA gets paid to take off and land,they call it Completion Factor. So in ASA's defense, we are doing a pretty good job. Delta is responsible for all the negative press because we're giving what they pay for. Who is ASA's customer? It ain't the passengers, cause we wouldn't treat them so bad if they were paying our bills.

Delta chooses to operate as the DCI Powerhouse. The mentality over there is still that the DCI group is not "DELTA". They will either decrease the DCI, or they will pay for service. Based on Delta's previous committment to change, you can expect to see ASA on CNN for a long time.

You get what you pay for and your leadership shows.

 

[ASADriver]

Delta sets the schedule and Delta connects most of our bags. I bet when Delta takes over the ramp it will still be the same. This is Delta's problem.

 

[wms]

You can't build 8-12 hour lines of flying for flight crews and airplanes and expect to keep the schedule. There is no room to recover for the many things that go wrong, from maint to weather to late pax ,etc. They seem to think they aren't working us hard enough to keep up the momentum, but momentum means nothing when planes break or ATC gets backed up. In fact the company just makes it harder to do our job with the maze on the ramp, keeping us from departing early and aircraft swaps EVERY TIME we come through ATL. But BL and Co. seem to have everything under control, NOT.

 

[General Lee]

Delta has to replace all of the ground people in ATL with DL people because St George and Company can't get it together. Hey Jerry Atkin, pay your people right and maybe they will perform better.....


Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[outtahere]

Personally I take pride in our AQR report. I work very hard to ensure that we don't work to hard, we also take our breaks when needed, and if we have to swap A/C then we walk at a normal pace and get there when we get there. In my opinion if they wanted a better rating they would settle the contract. By them not settling, they are telling us they are pleased with our performance and don't wish to change anything. Happy to help out Bryan, you lousy piece of sh!t.

We said the same thing when DAL owned us. Funny how they say fix it when they can tell someone else to do it. Also, the ramp isn't going to worked by DAL people, it'll be the same people with DAL uniforms. DAL rampers don't want to come work 20-24 planes a day when they can stay on the other ramps and work their 6 planes a day. All the rampers in the world won't make 25/45 minute turns. What needs to be changed is the way they build the lines.

and DL didn't score outside the 70's either. Passing? barely. I'd be willing to bet DL's ATL performance is shockingly similar to ASA. Having "DL" rampers on the ground in ATL will not improve the numbers....count on it.

 

[Speedtape]

But the good news is. We can only improve from worst. I doubt it though.

And all the people said:


We're #18!

until they add another airline to the list, then:



We're #19!

 

[~~~^~~~]

ASA has improved a lot recently. It is a shame the airline doesn't get credit when it works hard and delivers results.

Next year, I guess we will read about the improvement. Or hear how well Mesa is doing....

 

[SLUF4]

any publicity is good publicity, right?

I rest my case!!!!

 

[av8er2]

A big part of the reason is the way they treat the employees. The pilots are completely unmotivated!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Crash Pad]

Wow 18 out of 18. We beat such powerhouses as Mesa and CHQ. Delta who has lost pensions, pay cut in half, and stll manage to be more motivated than ASA. Jetblue can't move down despite there best efforts.

Hey lets blame ATL airport... whoops Airtran is top five.
Hey we don't get paid enough... whoops in walks Mesa.
Delta doesn't pay for X, Y, or Z... whoops then there are the other 200 DCI carriers.
How about this. Our airline just flat out blows. The managment is poor which says a lot to be the worst managers in the airline industry. The rest of us have adopted the "Ask me if I care?" mentality.

All that said. ASA has outdone capitalism for another year. Making millions while being the absolute worst at what it does.

Ya'll do realize that top management of ASA are Delta folks, or ex-Delta folks right? SB, BL, CT, GG, AD, and others all came from Delta, and some of them may still be employees of Delta!

The only way ASA's ramp operation will change is if Delta rotates rampers and gate agents, including those current Delta rampers and gate agents, thru all the concourses. IOW, don't just hire ASA rampers and keep 'em on C & D concourses, rotate them to A, B, C, D and E concourses.

Delta will probably end up hiring the same people anyways.

[Tomct]

Give us our contract and MAYBE....JUST MAYBE we will give two SH!TS!:angryfire Right now...I could CARE LESS!!!!

 

[av8er2]

Lately there have been a lot of 40-45 min. swaps in ATL. This shows how stupid they are if they care about on time. Also if they really cared they would treat the pilot right and settle the contract.

No one cares at ASA and that is all mgts doing. The pilots are not in control, mgt is. ASA is what it is because of them.

 

[John Pennekamp]

ASA management couldn't care less about the performance. What really matters to them is Completion Factor. If we don't get it above 98% before April 30, $8 million in bonuses (to management) are on the line. This is why the empty flights three hours late are back.
