Well, we didn't disappoint! Congrats to everyone for such an outstanding job!

check out our performance numbers for the last 2 weeks.

"ASA tied Pinnacle for the highest percentage of flight cancellations at 2.4%. Frontier had the lowest frequency of cancelled flights at 0.1%. The average among all carriers was 1.1% of flights cancelled."

Now that's funny. I could have sworn 9E always boasts about their industry leading completion factor. Now we're going to start service in Atlanta too. What a cluster...

Welcome to Atlanta, our world, where atc screws you, the rampers suck and the it doesn't matter what airline you are, the ontime performance is out the window.
Welcome to our world.

ASA is set up to fail. This definitely isn't the fault of the pilots. They should take a closer look at what our company wants us to do in ATL with 40 min. turns and plane swaps....It's assenine

I take exception to that.

I would like to personally pat myself on the back for contributing to at least some of the delays in the first 9 months of this year.

All I can say is pre-TA, Completion factor of 75%, Post TA, 99.5%. Atleast they now know if they F with us again the numbers follow morale.

Well at least we can say we are the best at something!! (even if it is the best at being the worst)>

 

[rightseatjocky]

laughing, Amen to that N1

I guess Comair is off the hook. We still have the most delayed flight in the country though. JFK-PHL....So we have that going for us which is always nice.

 

[OCP]

Did we sign a contact yet?

ATL is a cluster F. But, "not the fault of the pilots"?

Before the TA you must have been living in a dream world.

But from looking at your profile... I'm not sure you're the sharpest tool in the shed.

I'll forgive you if you're a 600 hour wonder at ASA wanting to complain about other pilots. Otherwise... GO EDUCATE YOURSELF!

40 min turns with swaps at a ATC delay plagued hub is tough though.

Once I re-read the article, I realized it was from the month of September. Hell, I will gladly claim my share of the reason for $hitty numbers from that month.

I'm just making the point that given any month ASA will suck performance wise in ATL. Even now post TA. These good numbers the past few days are a fluke.

And what's wrong with the profile? Sounds like you take yourself too seriously there "RJ Capt."

Thread Title revised. "Thanks ALPA"

 

[btrthn5n5]

I understood your point. I even agree with the struggle that is ATL.

I don't take myself seriously at all. But when somebody throws "65% no talent ass clowns" out about a pilot group... I have trouble giving their view the benefit of an education.

I'm a dork... posting on FI at 11 o'clock at night... uhh

To bed I go!

 

[McNugent]

Who do you work for again? It's just a little poke at the Skywest folks who voted no.

 

[thowe21]

umm honestly, ATL is 10 times better compared with IAD... standard 10 minute hold for rampers to marshall us in there in dullass

 

[yahooair]

Smacktard...are you in some way trying to blame the pilots??
one thing about this whole forum..i wonder why its such a pissing contest?
why do pilots put down other pilots?? isnt that a game most heads of airlines like to play with us?
are we so used to thinking someone is out to get us?
what gives?

 

[yahooair]

what airline do you work for that makes you feel like you can put down a group of pilots?
youre an ass..
