Any list that doesn't have spirit dead last is one that can't be taken seriously.

Ok, buddy.

How often do you fly on Spirit?

What no Hawaiian? I'd bet we'd be first on a few of those lists.

They said they excluded Hawaiian due to the relatively few flights they operate on the mainland and thus not subject to the major weather issues at the same rate as these other carriers.

On-time arrivals
1. Delta
2. Alaska
3. Spirit
4. Southwest
5. United

I give the "Most Improved" award to Spirit.

As a Frontier pilot, its encouraging to see that a ULCC can do well.

And..... Frontier needs to get their sh*t together

That’s a good old fashioned pimp slappin’. Well done.
