Quick rant on the worst airline to ever exist - just had my 8 AM AA flight canceled. Been on 4 total AA flights in the last couple of months, and 3 of them have been delayed/canceled. Home airport is a delta hub, and I’ve had ~15-20 Delta flights in the past 6 months. ONE singular flight has been delayed.

Somebody please explain to me why AA can’t seem to figure out their bookings and schedulings before I lose my mind

I can’t imagine the AA A-team is working in delta hubs.

Just realized my post was a bit unclear, sorry! Context is that I only fly delta out of my home airport, but 3 of these 4 AA flights have actually been out of an AA hub (DFW)

Has anyone singing the praises of Delta just not ever been to Atlanta or…

30+ years in Atlanta, 5 years in Charlotte...ATL and Delta has given me much better experience and service.

Flying AA was your first mistake, OP. Never fly AA when DL is an option.

Of on-time is your priority fly Delta

Anecdotal evidence is great, but you can look on the one time and performance data and the difference is 2-3% in most months for the overall nationwide flight routing with AA outperforming or equaling Delta’s performance depending on the month (i.e., Delta had major meltdowns a few months ago).

It’s just bad luck - Delta’s famed operational efficiencies being far superior to everyone is a vestige of the past - they’re still solid but not as clear of an industry leader when they had on-time rates in the mid 80%’s. They literally cancelled 10% of their entire summer bookings many of them last minute and are performing 5-10% below 2019 levels due to lack of staff.

There are tons of cancelations and service issues going on right now but even if that were not the case an airline at a non hub is usually lowest on the chain and first to get cancelled, moved to the back of the line etc

Send them some feedback complaining about all the delays - there's a good chance they'll throw you some miles and a half-hearted apology.

I didn’t fly AA even when they were a huge client of my old firm.

Could be worse, you could be on Spirit
