I was skimming the DL forum and came across someone who was asking whether to fly DL or AS to HI. The OP are from ORD. Multiple responses came back that the AS service is superior, etc. All, save some AS FT'ers like beckoa, were DL fans.
Just thought it was pretty neat to see an outsider's view of AS.

Always gotta plug AS when I can Even @ work (guess eventually I should change fields of employment )

If at the airport find what inbound A/C will be using that gate... beyond that- would need inside info like the tracking website we had for N644AS for a while...

And AS will have a net loss of A/C this year too...

Would be fun to have some more liveries though
