You are focusing on metric that is a variable, D:0 is the wrong one to look at, you need to look at ACF, and there OO is ahead of both G7 and ZW. The only one ahead of OO on ACF is Mesa, but i've been told that they don't use ACARS for automatic recording so their times are based on them manually recording out and in time (As i said, i was told this but not verified...)

A lot of the hate stems from the ASA - XpressJet disaster. Can’t say I blame them. Another part of the hate comes from them not having a union and riding off the coat tails of other regional industry gains. Albeit for not having a union they do treat their employees well. All the TSH carriers had(ve) a union and look at Hulas’ abuse. Then there is all the contract competition and base issue etc that stem from the legacies preferring to use Skywest in the long run. Back to our argument. Skywest owns there own aircraft, runs a reliable and proven operation and also signs very long CPA’s (10+ Years).

Aside from that, sounds like the bitterness comes from those outside of SkyWest are miffed because they lost the chess match.

What I find funny about all of this bravado is everyone is fighting over being the shiniest turd in the punch bowl.
All regional carriers are the same. One might be slightly better but they all suck. The RJ landscape is changing and changing for the better.

All airlines are a shiny turd, majors included.
