The whole Delta scene is run much better from a customer perspective. I ride with Delta mainline all the time and you never hear f@ck the pax type rhetoric from them, whereas that's super common over here and at AA, especially in the cabin.

Delta is a classy airline. Endeavor is obviously not as classy, but they take their cues from Delta at least.

On the compensation thing, I am anticipating making about 16k less after taxes year 2.
