Aviation report finds that airline delays are undercounted
Flight delays are significantly undercounted at some of the biggest U.S. hub airports, skewing airlines’ on-time performance statistics disclosed to travelers, according to an inspector general’s report. (www.ibj.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
When a flight's scheduled duration is 2 hours yet takes about 90 mins from wheels up to wheels down, one can assume some schedule padding going on there.
If that is the case, how come I have to explain every maintenance delay that happens regardless of the cause... I find this hard to believe.. If we miss one we have the upper bosses coming down on us...
idk
Stats are meant to confuse not to explain!
Every statistician learns and remembers the tricks available.
Like when to use Arithmetic mean or harmonic mean or geometric mean !
Which kind of deviation curve to deploy !
And so on.
Their job is similar to filing/creating income tax return. You calculate backwards !
I know it first hand. As a participant as well as a direct observer.

Merry Christmas, my friend.
Well, I see it like this. A regional airline is painted in the legacy carrier's colors and is held out to the general public(never mind the small print)as flying on that major carrier. Were it not so, they would paint in their own colors and fly for anybody as long as capacity was met. i.e. Republic that flies for all of them, yet the planes are dedicated to a particular Airline. For a start, they ought to take the % out of the pax requirement numbers and make the legacies report their regional delays as theirs. That would level the playing field and make it more honest right away.
