Your numbers for ExpressJet are off. Way off.

They aren't my numbers, G. Whatever makes you and all the others sleep at night.

Mesa and Asa both have higher d:0% actually look at the numbers on the picture you posted. Just cause TSa is at the top of the list doesn't mean they're #1

Daily vs. Month to Date (MTD). Good attention to detail. Now I understand how regionals get people to sign training contracts.

It's all rainbows and unicorns until mgmt tells you to grab your ankles, no lube for you!

^ This guy most definitely took the same master's level statistics class that I did.

You act like TSA flights operate in a vacuum. They only have 130 departures, you say. Those 130 departures operate at the same gates with the same outsourced ramp crews. They get the same ground delays/stops, they experience the same headwinds and go to the penalty box just like every other carrier.

In fact, even if you took high school statistics, you'd know that an airline with less departures and less airplanes would be much more susceptible to lower on-time performance. One airplane that has a maintenance issue or gets behind due to any number of circumstances would have a greater impact on performance. The smaller airlines would also have less or no operational spares as it wouldn't be economically feasible.

But what do I know?

Based on your overwhelming knowledge and attention to detail… you're speaking from experience I presume.

It's funny to see how some gang up and defend eachother's regionals, as if comparing diamonds and rubies...

Beat me to the punch. Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Not to mention at least 80% of our flights are in and out of IAD, where someone farts and there is a ground stop, and ORD, where..well ya.

Says the guy desperately trying to polish the Envoy turd in the Eaglevoy thread.

Nice attempt at a low blow. Won't even feed the troll on this one, and I won't post the facts about the actual number of flights we now operate/day b/c I personally don't care what you think. I can tell you it's not 130/day now, and in 6 months it won't even be remotely close to that.
