Default Airline Quality Rating 2010

Here is the often misquoted but popular source of all the recent news hysteria concerning airline quality. Many factors are left out including the primary determining factors of hub location and it's traffic, the hub's weather and, in the case of the outsourced airlines, operational control. Therefore it is most useful as a subjective comparison of individual airlines to their own past performance and not a comparison of airlines against one another.

It's an annual study by Purdue and Wichita State Universities and totally lifted from the taxpayer funded DOT Air Travel Consumer Reports. The numbers mean nothing if taken out of context (but that never stops the media).

Most of the data in these reports are taken from the monthly DOT Air Travel Consumer Report found at:

Kind of odd. They list quality rankings for airlines that don't do any flying under their own name but ignore others that do market under their own name. That alone is enough to blow credibility of this report. Plus, as winglet says everything they grading is taken out of context. Perhaps for the future apply a hub location modifier?
