World's worst airline
If there is a more incompetent airline than American Eagle, I hope to gawd I never have to fly with them. For the second consecutive flight the crew couldn't fly on time, so my flight was delayed and I had to rebook my connection. And now that we're on board, they've discovered a minor dent in the wing that needs to be written up in the log. This despite the fact that the plane has been sitting here for hours. I may now miss my rebooked connection. Morons.

The "10 minute delay" is now going on a half hour. No more flying out of this dinky local airport for me. Just not worth the hassle.

As far as US airlines go -
Delta fkn sucks in every way imaginable. I have never ever had a good experience with them. American, I don't fly too often but never had an issue. United is another tragedy with the staff straight out of a horror movie. Continental (Pre-merger) was always good to me... flew on a triple across the pond and it was stellar. Us Airways was the big shocker... Everyone talks crap about them but they have always performed imho. To sum up... delta was consistently the worst.

I put Spirit Airlines at the top of the worst list. Never again.

No matter the carrier, whichever flight is connecting me to or from Atlanta/Cincinnati/DC is the worst. Always every seat filled, always gross people, always delayed.
The small airport we have in Madison for private planes just started doing 9-passenger flights to Destin and back. They say they're hoping to add more flights soon and no TSA bullshit, so I'm watching pretty closely. |

They just deplaned us. They have no other plane here and no idea when or if they can fix this. I can't even rebook my flight to NYC since I have no idea when I can get to O'Hare.

Mine was Reno Air... I'm not sure they even exist anymore. Flying into Reno for a connector , the pilot had to attempt landing 3 times..... 3 times..... let that sink in and see if it doesn't make you nervous.... HE HAD TO TRY LANDING 3 TIMES!!!!!!! We're talking, wheels on the ground, and having to wave off, and retry... Man.. everyone on the plane was nervous and cheered when we finally rolled off the runway.

Re-rebooked now. Gone are my extra legroom seats at the front of the plane. Now we're in the last row. And we're not even sure we will fly out of here today.

Haven't eaten in 8 hours, so I went to the vending machines to grab some chips. I put in
my money and push the buttons, and my bag of chips hangs up at the end of the row. My life sux today. |

The worst are the little Cessna island hoppers down in the Carribean.

My previous boss had a Cessna. I flew with him once. I had to hand crank the landing gear because the hydraulics failed. Never flew with him again.

Northwest was the worst I'd ever flown pre-merger.
US Airways is the most God awful airline. Their people are just terrible and save for the one time I actually got on one of their new A340's to cross the pond, their fleet is composed entirely of Rust Bucket Boeing's on their last legs. The 757 coming back across the pond was nerve racking. United is close second to the US Airways jokers. AA ranks right underneath the aforementioned. I can't wait to see who wins the worst airline combination in the United vs. the "New" American (merged with US Airways). Best Airline: Southwest. |

I've been fucked by pretty much all of them at one time or another so I really don't care much which one I end up with. I have a bunch of AA miles so I typically use them. However I usually book package deals and those usually end up being Jetblue.
I will be flying Jetblue to Mexico soon, knock on wood, havent had any issue with this route the few times I've done it. Although several years ago we flew Jetblue from OH to FL via NY or something like that don't remember exactly. It was a work trip so we were drained and ready to GTFO of OH and go home to sleep. Anyways our flight to NY is delayed and so we are arriving to NY a little late, wasn't even anything crazy maybe like 15min or so. Well our connection had left and there were no more flights for the night FML. After arguing with them they put us up at the airport hotel which was a shit hole for a flight the next morning. That flight was delayed also, anyways I don't even remember when we ended up getting home, but I swore I would never fly Jetblue again. Guess I'm a hypocrite. |
