American's percentage is going to improve if it includes PSA's flights. On time arrivals are over 90%.

Finally. About time. I'm still upset they have excluded the smaller regional carriers. The carriers' ontime percentage should reflect its entire operation including subcontractors.

They didn't mention which 6 regionals would now be included in the statistics. Reporting fail.

On time arrivals? It seams like American is all about on time departures, and shooting any stragglers left behind at the gate, including their own.

They need to include GoJet... but that might just cause a 50% drop overnight

Probably the best performing regionals will be shifted into the crappiest places to operate and the crap regionals will be shifted into the easier to operate hubs.... Oh wait, that's already happened.

Per the United Express monthly reports they have been one of the top 2 or 3 performers for the past 7 months or so. I hate to say it but XJT is probably one of the worst.
