I'm the last to advocate burning a bridge, but UAL gets burned either way in this scenario IMO.
Congrats and good luck!
Hey Everyone, thanks for your honest feedback. It looks like for now I will stick with United until Delta makes it official. I don't like burning bridges and definitely don't like black marking my reputation...however never thought I'd be in this position. It is a tougher problem than originally thought. I know Delta is a solid company now...but it can always change and go the other way and United could be the go to airline in the future. I guess there is no gracious way of leaving one legacy airline for another legacy. Will have to make a tough call when Delta officially invites.
