It’s done to avoid being taxed.

As the previous poster said, it’s for the tax benefit. For most people, the current setup of the active HRA probably serves them better than having it taxed as a spillover taxable event.

Bump

Currently feeling very lucky to have both offers from UAL & DAL. Would have to commute for Delta. No commute at United. Feel like Delta is a little better off financially. Never in my life thought I'd have this luxury to chose. Flying long haul would be cool, but isn't top priority for me. Currently leaning towards UAL due to no commute. Is there anything that I'm missing?

As a outsider I would say Delta hands down, but being able to drive to work is worth it’s weight in gold.

LAX, Delta or United?

How about for someone who wants to live within driving distance to LAX (south Orange County) and will have a 29 year career? LA seems to have medium seniority for Delta. What is the seniority like in LA for United?
