Too many variables. DL has a better contract right now but AA has a massive amount of retirements that are just starting.
DL has also hired a whole lot more people during this wave.
Really comes down to where you want to live. They’re both really good jobs.

Part of the reason DL has less debt is the age of their fleet. Replacing older aircraft, which they'll have to do eventually, will close the gap somewhat.
Check my previous posts. I answered this exact question and showed retirements in a side by side comparison between DL, UA, and AA. I think the thread was asking about a comparison, or decision process, if you had to choose between DL or AA.

Roughly 45% of the DL seniority list will be retired in the next 10 years. I would base it on where you, or more importantly your wife/family, wants to live. I can’t even begin to explain how much better your qol will be if you don’t have to commute.
