PHL only ranked ninth, I would have expected worse. Look at SFO, ORD, EWR, all UAL hubs, in the 10 worst list.

EWR makes PHL like paradise when it comes to delays.

A few times a day, when US Airways tries to fit 20 pounds of sand into a 5 pound sack (and that doesn't even factor in the other airlines), the PHL delays are significant. Most of the day traffic moves fairly easily. During the summer months, when US Airways schedules more than a dozen heavy transatlanticflights, with their intrinsic wake-turbulence delays, between 6:10 pm and 6:45 pm, the queue gets crazy long, with all those huge engines burning huge amounts of fuel. BA has a LHR flight in that mix, and there are the dozens of domestic mainline and express US flights, and finally the other carriers' flights all trying to use the same piece of concrete in the hour between 6 and 7 pm.

What an incredibly inefficient circus!
