Rare Ignominy
 
From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
---DELTA PARTNER RANKED LAST IN TIMELINESS---
If you traveled on Delta Connection carrier Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) this summer, you had almost a 50-50 chance of being late — the highest delay rate in the industry. On top of that, you also faced the highest odds of having your baggage lost. The regional airline has achieved a rare ignominy: Out of 20 airlines, ASA ranked 20th in both on-time performance and baggage handling in each of the last four months. "Am I happy with it? No, not at all," said Joe Kolshak, Delta's executive vice president of operations. "These aren't ASA customers. They are Delta customers."

Sounds like they've lived up to the title I've always heard thrown around by customers.

Why is this a shocker? "They are Delta customers". Delta has lost plenty of my bags in the past.

Thats good.

Our corporate culture at Mesa is

"We're not happy until You're not happy"! This goes double for emplyees as well.

I will say Skywest has helped me move up over 200 positions on the list since February.

Seriously, though, does anyone have any ideas as to why ASA was the worst? Any factors you see?
