I would absolutely agree here. Delta TechOps is one of the very best Aircraft maintenance operations in industry. The one thing I have never questioned is the safety and maintenance of their aircraft. They not only take pride in what they do, they take the safety and the maintenance of their aircraft very seriously. Even Boeing comes to them for advice and implements changes to their aircraft based on some of the retrofits that Delta TechOps has performed on their aircraft. So while we may have some issues with other aspects of Delta, Aircraft maintenance for me is never one of those issues.
