Most the hate I hear is from pilots who flew for Delta regionals. Daddy DAL treated their regional like garbage and their regional treated their pilots like garbage. Therefore "I could never work for a place as awful as Delta." I try to say something like "All majors treat their regionals like garbage. This will not be your experience on the DAL seniority list." But most have already made up their minds.
There may be more to it, there may not. What do I know, I'm a Spirit lifer who couldn't get a phonecall from DAL 10-20 years ago. I don't know your life. Ultimately, you do you, Boo.
