no, getting to enjoy the fun of both IAD and ATL, in both United & Delta paint, i can easily say that IAD is worse.

i've had 5 minute conversations with rampers asking to pull the airstairs up to the main cabin door so i could do the preflight, and the only thing i said was "stairs, door, please" and pointed at each thing, and the only response i got was "i don't understand" in a heavily accented english. i've gotten to the outstation only to find bags in the aft bin that were not on any load report. and then there's the joy of the A gates, where they board 7 airplanes from one door, and no one to guide the poor pax to the planes once they get outside.

IAD makes ATL look like paradise.
