Interesting. How can DAL be number one Airline yet not even make the Top 50? I would demand a recount!

Well if your airline isn't in the top 1000 companies in revenue, then you're not going to see them on the list...admired by executives...iow perks, Skymiles, super secret oak door clubs at airports...

I mean our airline is #1 in serving blue potato chips, that's gotta mean something, right?

HaHa. That's funny.

Must be some hanging chads!

Simple. The industry specific rankings are only voted/ranked by people within the industry (airlines ranking other airlines). The overall list is voted on by everyone.

I think the Song operation really put them on top. It's hard to admire a company that lands on taxiways. Or was that one of their RJ outfits? Hard for me to tell the difference. Both are paid about the same.

It hurts cuz it's true.

As a fractional guy who worked at the airlines, and now rides them to work... constantly!

I can add that Delta Airlines is my #1 choice. They have always been out front on the technology angle (kiosk, blackberry device app, etc), they keep their planes looking good, they have the best Business Class service for any US carrier, and they seem to care just a little more than the others....

Now, I also like SWA and JB as well... but only when I fly to Vegas!

Congrats Delta, you have my vote (which counts for nothing)

That was one of the most quality posts I've read on here, wolfpack...thanks!
It'd be nice to see more encouraging posts from the guys on FI (myself included)!
