The Starship isn't quite the magic machine it was portrayed to be, but it is ok. The issues mentioned can be similarly found on other DAL operations. If I had known what I know now (including the same payrate) I would have gone to the A330 for a better choice of destination and no/little FRMS issues. But 330/350 beats domestic for schedule and not getting beat up by reroute.
