time — the highest percentage of on-time flights among the eight largest North
American carriers. Reliability is one of the biggest sources of customer
satisfaction, which in turn, drives customer preference. Our 13,000 employees
worked hard every day to get our customers to their destinations safely, on
time, and with their bags.
J.D. Power award for customer service and loyalty program: Simply put, great
customer service is the reason Alaska is here today and thriving as an
independent airline. Our employees were recognized in 2014, earning the J.D.
Power award for “Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Traditional Network
Carriers” for the seventh year in a row. J.D. Power also published its first-ever
Airline Loyalty Program Satisfaction Report in 2014, in which Alaska was
ranked highest by frequent fliers. We know that taking care of our customers
every day is the best way to sustain our success. We could not be more proud

about four years on average, which compares
very favorably to the rest of the industry. Our
level of employee engagement was 82% in
our annual employee survey, up 3 points from
the prior year, and up 19 points from three
years ago. Engaged employees who are
aligned with our goals are the reason we are
succeeding.
Low costs, low fares, and network growth: Are low costs important? You bet
