Not sure what the bruh haha is about performance I absolutely detest it when AA does that to me, guess it is no better at DL.
Couple things to note;
1)DL is far less delayed than AA,
2)DL pads their schedules, so a 30 min departure delay can still very easily arrive on time.
3)This was a regional carrier operated flight. While the plane looks like a DL plane it isn't. While the particular regional carrier you flew doesn't also fly for AA, number of them do, Compass/Slywest being two. The point being a regional carrier flight is no different than flying on OAL. If you were on a KLM operated, DL coded flight you wouldn't blame DL for what happened. Same applies here. A regional carrier operates the same way regardless of who it's actually flying on behalf of.
