Irregular Flight Operations - Something to keep in mind when selecting an airline

[FSUNole]

I've always avoided smaller discount airlines because, as mentioned in this article, they don't have the capacity to recover from the daily issues that can arise.  I don't fly SW and don't consider them a discount carrier (their fares were always on par with the full service carriers) but they were once a reliable airline which it appears they will not be for the foreseeable future.

Totally agree - I only fly with airlines that are part of a network - it has saved my trip many times when technical problems, strikes or delays - both private and company related.
