Delta Wins 2014 GlobeRunner Award, Best Airline in the Americas
At yesterday's GlobeRunner Awards event in New York, where FlyerTalk received a GlobeRunner for Best General Travel Site, Delta tied with United for Best Airline in the Americas.
While I am involved with the GlobeRunners, it is solely a readers choice award and many FlyerTalkers voted. This year there was a total of 150,000 votes cast.
Since I participate quite a bit in this sub-forum as a frequent Delta flyer, I wanted to share it here.

Honestly who cares my wife for all the loyal years of flying (gold) she has never been upgraded and of course she hates the program for her next year.

Given how few airlines there are anymore it more like kindergarden where everyone wins (but is really a loser too). Or really in this case it sounds more like picking the lesser of all evils.

This was the first year Delta won (in the tie). United won two years ago, and American won last year.
