I fly almost exclusively American Airlines they deal with weather like everyone else but DFW handles it as well as anyone.

It has been more than a weather thing, and for us it has not been handled well despite DFW being a AA hub. I really don't know what the deal has been. I fly AA a lot as I have one of their CCs and a bunch of FF miles. I rarely have any issue with other destinations, just seems to be DFW. And considering the other end of the line is Phoenix Sky Harbor, not exactly a small quiet airport with few flights, been hard to figure.

DFW is very weather sensitive. Any bad weather around and things break down fast. I suspect that's from DFW controllers having a Delta flight crash from Wind-shear while coming in for landing.

I have the same issues with DFW no matter which airline I fly with.

IMO, AA is the least crappy between them and UA/Delta. I had an issue with AA going through Charlotte a couple years ago, but weather compounded the issue.

Since I live in Houston...

If I can fly out of Hobby, I fly Hobby over IAH. But the only over-saltwater flights out of Hobby are over the GoA.

I'm still pissed over the UA acquisition of Continental. Gordon Bethune was absolutely the man, Continental was THE shit 30 years ago. UA has turned it into a floating dumpster fire.

And I think Northwest beat them all. The good airlines were all aquired because there was room for cost cutting—they were spending too much on their customers.
