Yes. I avoid delta for EXCATLY that reason. (Well, ATL may also have something to do with that... plus only 3 ATL-CRP flights a day on a CRJ). My wife has had 2 "close calls" on NW where she was in fear for her life, including one they rolled emergency equipment at IAH, so we avoid NW as well.

And yes, Texas Y fares help. For $150 more am flying today to OKC in Y which will put me over for Platinum when I return tomorrow.
