The first time you get a nasty mechanical and there is no plane in sight..for hours and hours..you will wish you were at that larger airport. Don't come on this board and whine when this occurs. You fail to see the intangibles...if you were really concerned with time, you would do more research. You are an amateur, at best.

No need to be an a****** to someone who's correct... US is obviously the right choice for the OP. And it's not like he'd be sitting at RDU for "hours and hours" - US's frequent flights to CLT would probably prevent this from happening. And actually, there's a better chance of a nasty mechanical if the OP connects through Atlanta, where he has twice as many flights on which things can go wrong.
Question - why try to play devil's advocate with this guy? I see you're US CP... why would you want him to be stuck on Delta?
