Is it really?

I don't mean to call out a connection carrier ... God knows we've all done stupid crap in airplanes before. But today taking off out of ATL, I watched an ASA jet ... 5 feet after being airborne, he banked hard left towards the ramp (26L) flying over the grass towards E and F. The airplane left the vertical confines of the runway. Then banked hard right back to the runway. I was only able to see it because we were next behind them and were on the runway as they were still rolling. Seriously, I thought they were crashing ... or at least had an engine failure at rotation. It was like he was #2 in a formation takeoff and lead kicked him out to enroute trail. Very scary looking.

I really really really really really^infinity hope that DAL reigns in our connection carriers. Some are very good, some are VERY bad. And we need to clean up our act too or this company is in trouble. I guess maybe FOQA will help ensure we are save.

I love DAL .. just hope we don't screw this up !!
