I travel for work and have flown a lot with all three major airlines. Delta is not the “go-to” airline. They all suck for different reasons, use what’s most convenient for you. If you travel for work, pick one most convenient most of the time and build points, but just remember each one is shit.

Delta has been by go-to airline for a long time. After reading this, I want to fly with them again. Fuck them and anyone else who does this. If we collectively do nothing to put a stop to this practice now, it will be everywhere soon. I fucking hate this level of capitalism. Greedy fucks.

They sure seem to suck less than the others. American? Never. Do they just hate customers? United…if I have to.
This kind of blows my mind. Globally The top three airlines for being on time in order were: Aeromexico, Suadi, and Delta.

Experiences differ. I’ll say I’ve had more bad experiences with Delta than United. American is still the worst of the three big ones domestically. I fly United for work and will have a delay maybe once every 10 flights and I’m constantly flying and always have at least one connection.
I’ve personally had a better experience with United, than any of the others. Doesn’t mean they still don’t have issues.

I appreciate the feedback. We both agree that American is the worst, and I think that is true.
I don’t fly as often as you, but I fly internationally and of the US airlines, Delta has been the most consistent for me. But then again, I still am bitter after getting stuck in an airport at 2 AM (flight was at 10) because United kept saying this plane will leave, just wait. They knew the whole time it was not going anywhere after I talked to some people that work there.
I have been stranded by many airlines, for many reasons, but rarely has one been so bold.

Unfortunately the other big airlines in the country will do this soon after seeing its success.

Exactly. And it won’t stop with airlines either. Our entire lives are going to be a fucking auction model. That’s why we need a lot of vocal opposition now.
