Can we agree they all suck?

It’s not much better on the AA side I assure you

I think the lesson here is that all the airlines suck. Between the MAX grounding, the mechanics work slowdown (AA), crazy weather impacting middle-of-the-country hubs (ORD, IAH), and the general lack of basic infrastructure investment (ATC and facilities), there is no way to dodge this bullet given how much we all fly. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I often say that our air travel system is a house of cards balanced on the head of a pin. It doesn’t take much for the whole thing to come tumbling down any given day

Also flying from ORD and American and it’s the second time in two weeks my 7:00 am to DCA has been delayed.

I think they both suck. Wish I could fly Delta in a reasonable way.

The last 4 times I flew Delta, they waited till the flight boarded to delay. We sat in the plane for at least an extra hour each time...

Oof. 4 times is brutal. Delta’s on time performance is 7% better than United or American though.

I guess it depends on where you’re flying to/from in terms how miserable you’ll be.

They all suck. Flying in the US is a nightmare. A little rain and everything shuts down. Aircrafts regularly have maintenance issues, there never are gates available when delayed. Over all this whole thing needs a massive overhaul. The American consumer has just accepted that this is the shit level of service we are going to get and there’s nothing we can do about it. The consolidation means all 4/5 major ones can tacitly collude and let everything remain shit. What other option do u have? Are you going to drive from Chicago to NYC every week? Didn’t think so.

They’re not wrong tho

I still blame the consumer who goes onto Priceline and picks the cheapest flight every time.
