I guess it's like being in a traffic jam - if the next lane is moving faster, as soon as you get into it, the lane you were in before will move faster.
I think that Delta is basically just doing what we pay it to do, competently, and the other airlines are either evil or incompetent. For what it's worth, United was my primary airline during 2001-11, and I switched back to Delta after United's post-merger deterioration, which was pretty extreme. I've been very satisfied with Delta since my return. Lots of ordinary flights, and a handful of noteworthy good experiences. No disasters.
