Boy, you really want people to leave Delta! (you think it will be a better airline with less customers? Doubt that!
)
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.
