Delta just lost me as a lifelong customer. They used to be my automatic #1 choice because they had good service for a reasonable price.

When was Delta cheap? I live near a fortress hub and it’s $500+ to fly anywhere. Maybe I was one of the 25% pricing test

Reasonable, not cheap. I haven't flown in a while either.

Recently too. Delta was 200 bucks hub to hub. Had family at the other hub so went semi frequently. Checked the other day and it was 600 fucking dollars. Hell no I'm not doing that.

Of course their idea is to raise prices even more! That'll get people to fly more!

I just want a carrier that isn't delayed 75% of the time. For me that's United.

For me it’s the “good service” side of the coin. Actually it’s specifically “more likely to have a direct flight and not find extra fees to pile on”
