blzr,
Nothing like believing cooked numbers "from our website" to cloud the mind, huh?
You post numbers like that without telling us what time period, whether the delays are "controllable" or "uncontrollable", whether "on time" is departure, arrival, "real" on-time (vs. DOT on-time"), etc. It's also interesting that these are the only numbers you wish to supply.
It really is true... There are three types of lies: Lies, d****ed lies, and statistics.
For the record, I will supply your (PDT's) REAL numbers for the month of August to date, along with your ranking amongst the 14 carriers that are in those rankings. For those who wish to know, these are the hard numbers that include all controllable delays (flight crew is late, for instance) and uncontrollable delays (WX, ATC, etc.). I use August numbers only because that is all I have available to me at this moment.
You claimed 97.3% on-time?
Your on-time departures (D5, as in within 5 minutes of sked) are running at 81%. Not bad, I guess, as that ranks you 2nd.
Your on-time arrivals (A14, as in within 14mins of sked) are running at 79%. Still not bad, but your ranking drops to 4th.
Your completion factor is 95%. That also ranks you 4th.
As for "my company", we rank 4th, 3rd, and 2nd in those categories, respectively. Most notable is our completion factor of 98.5%, which interestingly enough is what you claim for "your company".
So, what did we learn here... Using only those categories, since you chose to, you average a ranking of 3.3. "My company" averages a ranking of 3.0. So, blzr, you are doing worse than this particular contract carrier.
The good news for you is that you are by far the best of the WO's. PSA, for instance, is truly in the dumper by these rankings, hovering right above Air Midwest and Midway. ALG is about mid-pack, I think, I didn't write those numbers down.
What this also tells is that there are contract carriers doing more reliable business than either PDT or "my company". TransStates, for instance, is better than either of us. So much for our (or their) "not caring".
Looks like the only thing getting "knocked out of the park" is your argument. And don't bother with saying (again) that we are "temp work". If that is the best you can come back with, don't waste our time. It adds nothing to the discussion and merely makes you look petty. Give us evidence that the contract carriers as a whole don't care or don't do a good job... If you can.
