I'd be interested to hear other people's airline bad lists. Mine is basically United at the moment. (Largely for fleet age (in my personal experience), and dismissive FA's) Prefer to when possible fly, JetBlue, Southwest and Alaskan Air if the price is drastically all over the board.

I don't really have a bad list. I first look for flights on Frontier then SW and Jetblue. If none of those work out I default to Delta for the skymiles and most of their planes have in flight internet from what I have seen. What always gets me is that long haul flights seem to have less room than domestic flights or the regionals. The most uncomfortable flight I've ever had was from ATL -> Tokyo because the seats were so close together. I ended up spending hours just sitting in the galley with the flight attendants.

In in the UK so my bad list is limited to Ryanair.

Delta. The only time you'll get me in one of their planes is for a one-hop to or from Atlanta, and even then I'll think hard about whether I can get on another airline. The number of patently absurd things they've done to me would fill quite a lengthy post, though. Whenever possible (i.e., heading westward, domestic US) I fly Frontier. For other destinations, US Airways is my preferred option, mostly because their hub -- Charlotte -- is actually a rather nice and not-too-crowded airport.

  I just flew with them this weekend. I'm pretty sure they canceled the flight I was on due to a small amount of passengers (there were only ~10 people waiting in the terminal). This resulted in a 4 hour initial delay, missing my connection, an additional 2 hour delay waiting for the next connection. There were no people to talk to at my original airport, so I had to leave the "secure" area, go back to the ticket counter and wait in line for the one Delta employee to assist.

United's FAs have a real attitude problem. Their employee ownership programme hasn't instilled in them at all a sense of pride or commitment. Rather it's fostered resentment, as if they begrudge giving you a ride in their personal vehicle. Lots of amusing stores on untied.com. Sabena were on mine (such a bad experience, never again) until they went bankrupt. Ryanair are at the top of my no-fly list.
