I like connecting in Dallas vs. Atlanta or Houston, but I've had the following delays on American (all in/out of Baton Rouge):

---

Agreed. Prefer DFW to ATL and IAH. Also prefer MSY to BTR.

1) I had an AA flight push back from the gate at BTR, taxi to the end of the runway, and then get called back to the gate. Captain had no idea why, just that he had been ordered to come back. When we got there, BRPD was waiting. They boarded and promptly hauled off a ~20 year-old black male. Apparently he had a warrant out. Still made my connection.

2) Had a UA flight delayed over an hour because it was the Friday after Thanksgiving and the ground crew was late/no-show so the plane couldn't get fuel.

3) Had the AA gate agent buy me a ticket on UA so that I could actually get to my destination that day. The AA flight was so delayed that it must have been cheaper than paying me off with vouchers (not an option since I needed to be there).

I have more BTR delay stories, but I've tried to forget them. I'm pretty sure the ground ops are contracted out to ExpressJet, so the difference in airlines from BTR is meh. It's all regional jets. (Actually, I've seen DL with an A318 there but I don't know the frequency.)

TL;DR

Spirit is the worst.
Without status (OT poors), Southwest is the best.
With status, the domestic legacies are all about the same.

Oh, and the one time I flew Alaska was nice.

There's a diesel Chevy Cruze. No idea how long-term reliability will be compared to the VW offerings, though.

There will be the usual CST replay for the Idaho and Towson games.

Tigervision will be SD 16x9, but the CST replay will be HD.
