And somehow United did substantially better than we did even though they have major hubs in EWR and IAD?

Not excusing our own self induced fiasco of an operation at the moment...but your implied inference with regards to weather is way too simplistic.

Down here in Newnan the weather has been fantastic and I don’t recall seeing any major storms anywhere.
I mean this in the lightest spirit possible, I swear! That may be the most passenger thing ever said All in good fun. In honesty, ZNY was a mess all weekend despite the WX being not terribly bad. The NY ATC reaction to anything in Cleveland and/or DC centers (and vice versa), let alone their own is always way over the top. It DID drive some of the cancellations due to displaced crews stemming from diversions, equipment scattered all over the lower 48, duty limitations..etc. That said...once AGAIN, we have proven to be the least nimble and least forward thinking airline in the US. I have no idea why UA did better than us, they are very obviously doing something we aren't and we never...EVER seem to learn from our mistakes. After action just isn't our thing. I'd agree with the local weather, everything in the bubble was also fantastic.

Any yet Delta has the lions share of cancelations with its biggest base in ATL.

If you don’t understand how issues at one base roll into other bases with a cascading effect what can I say. ATL always as a 360 degree hub that is by far the largest in the system gets a outsized impact.

I know absolutely nothing about his reason for leaving, but based on where he went, I’ll hazard a guess that his moral compass was pointing away from Delta.
