The airline completes more than 95% of A220 flights, he said, a measure of how often its avoids cancellations. But Delta, which prides itself on reliability, wants to get that number to 99%.
That's a lot different than "very poor" and "needs to improve fast" and "frustrated."
Of course we want it to be better, but he didn't say anything nearly as dire as your proclamation.
