That would be Delta. Or, Southwest if they're asking for the ride reports on the climb out from the low alt center controller.

Here is the truth:

American flies thru nothing, The will deviate around a shadow.

Southwest climbs like a bat out of hell and will fly thru anything.

United complains American gets preferential treatment
American complains United gets preferential treatment
Delta is like the red-headed step child.....

everyone thinks they are the only aircraft in the sky

no offense

Re: SW climbing like a bat out of hell - all short version jets, with the same wing, are pocket rockets. Ask them how the 737-800 performs. Different story.

Nothing can be worse than the 321! It's the only airplane I've flown doesn't go up OR down.
