They're making TONS of money. How can you possibly say they're failing?

3) I will definitely go back to UA or AA whenever my travel allows it because of this.

I wish I had a quarter for every FlyerTalk poster who said they're gonna leave Delta. There's almost nowhere else to go, and, when someone leaves DL, there are plenty of other pax coming to DL who are defecting from elsewhere.
