The six airlines placing higher than American in July were: Hawaiian, 95.1 percent; Alaska, 90.9 percent; Southwest, 83.8 percent; AirTran, 81.2 percent; Mesa, 80.8 percent, and Delta, 79.8 percent.

It's also worth noting that airlines in deep financial distress -including BK - often improve their operational performance both because the schedule is usually reduced and because employees know that holding on to customers during BK might make the difference in whether their company survives or not. Recent history shows that most employees will put out the stops and work a little harder to help the company during its crisis in order to help secure their own future.
That's because BK hasn't experienced AA employees who ALREADY gave back billions. Most of the carriers that went bankrupt cut their emplyees legs off right below the knees in BK court where as AA had already cut our legs off just above the ankles BEFORE BK court.The last report I saw on this was bankruptcy hadn't negatively impacted on-time dependability *or* load factors in the past 20 years, unless it has been in direct reaction to a labor action.
It has served as the ultimate wake-up call for those who are in denial, since as mentioned, a few carriers saw dependability improve.
I don't recall bankruptcy generally having any material impact one way or another on the on-time performance of any other legacy U.S. airline during their bankruptcy (bankruptcies) - I think dependability is really about the airline and its operations, whether bankrupt or not.
Frankly, I would expect that AA's dependability numbers should improve dramatically in the relatively near future as more and more old airplanes leave the fleet. The reliability numbers of seen for some of the older fleets is pretty bad, and I've had several MD80 OSO due to MX just in the last few months, whereas even up until last year I rarely had that happen. Tons of brand new 737s and A320s should substantially improve AA's on-time numbers in coming months and years.

I can see the new 737s improving reliability, because we've had them for years and know them, the A320s however will be impaired by the learning curve, when it breaks, and even new planes break, it will take longer to figure out whats wrong and how to fix them.
You can stick you heads in the sand and deny that morale affects performance, hell you've been doing that for the last eight years at least but you may find that new planes wont improve yopur reliability as much as you hope, after all I think we all agree that when our planes come out of OH they are as close to new as can be yet our reliability isnt what management wants.
Once again, you don't know sarcasm when you read it. maybe its the sun or the coconut juice.

DLdid not do terribly well operationallyabsolutely stunk last summer...
