I know "the grass is always greener ...", but it is time to give that lawn a try. Delta is becoming a greedy and stingy airline: higher fares than competitors, minimalistic service, and enormous profits without reinvesting in the development. I suspect that UA and AA are not dramatically better, but at least I will not be paying as much on them as on Delta to fly upfront for a reasonable price.
I think fares really depend on the market your flying. For me flying ex-LHR, DL is cheaper about 80% of the time.
