Gadol > Data can be misleading.. Spirit has more frequent catastrophic events
Agree. Definitely, bigger airlines allow easier way to get out of a pickle. And better for flexible business travel. I once was stuck at West Coast because JetBlue flight arrived late to East Coat and triggered a chain of delays ..
So, I looked at cancelled flights. Delta is best at 0.2% of flights, the rest, including Spirit, are at 1.5-2%. So, you need to define in what sense you think Spirit is worse. Is there a specific route where you feel Spirit is Inferior to others?
