(There must already be a thread about this...)
Delta is a decent option. SLC and LAX are relatively close so connecting for the west coast isn't impossible. Plus there are flights to most of the Delta hubs still, so there are options in bad weather.
But then you have the persistent rumors of further devaluation of their FF program plus the depressing terminal, including its aggressive single checkpoint.
