To the OP: None of the above is true of any airline’s “culture”. There
is no difference which should weigh in your decision. Every airline has its “special” one-off pilots, and both places are good places to work. As others have said, never pass on a legacy class date, and leave for another legacy if it means you will drive to work. UA’s seniority progression is probably slightly more attractive that DL’s as of now, but that’s just a tie-breaker, as is the prospect of future WB flying. The rest is just noise. Good luck.
