News and notes from around the interweb:
- Here are the most germ-infested places at airports and on planes
- Credit where credit is due: United had the best on-time performance in December. Delta came in second, barely ahead of Alaska. But since it was only one month – still materially ahead of American — it didn’t risk having to pay out on-time guarantees to corporate customers.
- Last month an American Eagle flight from Toronto to New York LaGuardia commenced takeoff without clearance and was ordered by the tower to abort.
- Man who tried to open exit door of Delta flight over Pacific pleads guilty to 4 felonies.
- How American chooses layover hotels for flight attendants
- New York JFK’s new $65 million ‘pet terminal’ is on the brink of closing and crying foul over what it says are violations of its lease by the Port Authority of New York New Jersey.
“This Surprising Airlines [sic]”?
Come on Gary, you’re better than stooping to click bait headlines. You have enough legit content that you don’t need to dive into the click bait sewer.
You are constantly maligning AA / UA / DL for copying each other and righty so.
Take the high road here. Stand on the merits of your site and do away with the click bait.
What’s next, following TPG and telling us the “8 Most Instagramable places in Austin”? 🙂
Anytime you see the word “this” in a headline it’s clickbait. Better headline: “Surprise: United Tops On-Time List”. I’ll bet that gets as many clicks. Of course, it’s Gary’s site and he can do what he wants regardless of feedback.
On time statistics are so useless anyway. If the plane is 14:59 late to the gate, its still “on time”. Delta pads their numbers super hard by adding in even more buffer time. Blah blah, dumb statistic is dumb.
