Revenue was identical to DAL at 15.2 BN for the quarter.. what gives?
They are real close in terms of operating income. UA - $1.4 billion, DL $1.68 billion. Delta is booking way more loyalty revenue (Amex credit card deal) at $7 billion for 2024 so far. That and lower interest expense gives Delta a higher net income versus United.
