And what data did you take into account to form your theory? I'll bet a ton of folks would debate your thesis.

Can’t be for the crew meals.

IDK, I do about 50% Night and 50% Datime Flying and have only been on property 2 years. Never do any Night Hub turns either. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to avoid some of those brutal schedules everyone fears so much.

Honestly, I don't understand why people don't try harder to swap off the ugly stuff, often they just fly it when they could have swapped it. I guess one person's trash is another ones treasure. I fly mostly days, about 90/10, only fly nights if the leg is mixed in with a good trip or a convenient deadhead. But I'm having a hard time getting up early for some of those day flights. Getting old sucks, I want to sleep until 8am.

Didn’t realize this. I retract my statement then.

Back to the original article... does this include regionals or is it just the mainline?

My brother and sister in law just flew Spirit. They couldn’t open the cargo door to retrieve their bags. They were told that they would have to wait 4 hrs at the airport to file a claim for their bags and that they wouldn’t deliver them because “we don’t do that.” What? Above these other airlines?

No other airline has had a mechanical issue that inconvenienced the passengers. Ever.

You’re kidding right? Sorry...airlines should deliver bags when they’re not on the belt. Not send them to email then say “we don’t deliver bags” when the cargo door is jammed closed. At DAL, AA, UAL, you’d go home, call later, talk to a human, and the next morning your bag would be on your doorstep. At Spirit they tell you your bag isn’t late til 4 hrs after and you cant make a claim online or even on the phone with an actual person. You have to stay at the airport and make a claim 4 hours later. Even then they won’t deliver it even though they know exactly where it is and that it was their fault. Your argument is ridiculous. It’s not that airlines dont have problems. It’s that Spirit doesn’t give a $hit. Top 4 airline though.

It’s that Spirit is a ULCC, and doesn’t send bags to houses. That super cheap ticket your family enjoyed is super cheap for a reason.

I think this is the second year in a row that NKS has finished number 1 in mishandled bags. Which tells me that your one off story is just that.
