And the WSJ seems to at least base rankings on universal metrics like on time, mishandled bags, etc. Whereas TPG factors in lounges, children’s entertainment, and on board goodies; not really a consistent metric given that ULCC don’t have and won’t have lounges

I remember being told by a Delta pilot that I was stupid for not commuting because of all the money in greenslips I was giving up. But really, it was amazing for me because the group, at a whole, is so greedy that I've spent many many nights at home on reserve while they are white slipping to the gills short notice broken up trips
