After all.... you are the "freight guy"!
I didn't say that. I said if you are interested in more long haul opportunities among the 3 legacies- UAL and AAL trumps DAL. That's all. They have more higher paying equipment than we do by far. It is what it is. Even on the narrowbody front, we have more lower paying equipment like the 717, M88 and now the CS100 than United or AA. The other 2 legacies have more higher paying equipment. Just some things prospective applicants are considering and should consider.
That said, Delta is still a great gig. If you live in a Delta base, it is almost a no brainer. And things can change in years to come.
