Post back after you retire and let us know which was the right choice
Hourly rates are the same. Profit sharing at DL is the only thing better. That should be addressed in the next contract in a year or two so the compensation will pretty much be equal.
What work rules are better? AA will have average calendar day soon. That was the big issue and its fixed.
More regional flying at aa could be seen as a good thing if the pilot shortage causes them to bring regional flying in house. AA would need a lot more bodies. Delta has brought a lot in house already so the hiring for that won’t help a new guy bc they’re all senior to them.
There is no east west drama. Go to work. Go home. Get paid. “Cultural” issues are an internet thing.
I hope you guess right!
