Trip, I actually agreed with most of your post; just cutting it for one point.

If you're excited about potential future plans, I'd look at United. They're adding a ton of airplanes for growth + the possibility of flying supersonic (although I think they'll only have 69 seats on it and thus Scope it to Mesa...) and frankly, opportunity to make big money younger in the career. 2 year widebody FO is a very realistic possibility there; at DL it's not as likely.

But your point about the fact that Delta has a robust domestic network is absolutely true. And it does rake in the cash. Pre-Covid of course. Let's see what shakes out for the rest of 2022.
