Delta Shuttle vs. US Air Shuttle

I haven't flown the shuttle between New York and Boston in several years.

I was wondering if frequent fliers on this route have a strong preference for Delta or U.S. Airways.

Does one shuttle offer superior service over the other?

Is there any reason to favor one over the other?

Thanks for your feedback.

Haven't flown Delta, since I have elite status on USAirways. Can't compare them, but the USAirways shuttle's service and efficiency are high, except for the new hassles in flying into DCA.

One factor are the terminals. DL operates out of the Marine air terminal at LGA which is that little bit closer to Manhattan and perhaps less crowded (DL shuttle only).

US uses A320s on the route which are supposed to have more elbow room and configured with more legroom than DL's 737s.

One consideration, no longer effective, was the US & AA double dip miles one could have earned on the US shuttle.
