Delta's flight attendants are warm and genuinely seem proud to be working for the airline when you hear their announcements. Meanwhile on JetBlue, the majority of flight attendants are 20-30 somethings coldly reciting a script.
It's not my place to go into the details of why this is on this forum, but I couldn't agree with you more. It comes down to training and motivation. When employees are barely staying afloat, a pizza party is not the way to save them.

A wise man once said, "Delta people are the very best at what they do."
