Depends upon which you think is coming back first, business travel or international.

In many cases, they are one in the same.

The airline that lost $7 Billion or the airline that lost $12 Billion?

Obviously you are all missing what matters here. You go to the most “woke” airline. Money and jets don’t matter anymore.

All,

I currently have a CJO from both Delta and United. I know there have been threads asking this before but wanted to see a fresh perspective as the other threads are a couple of years old. This is a big decision and I want a genuine opinion. Currently live in SLC but would possibly be open to a move. I also would most likely take a first available upgrade at either. It sounds like the United class is going to be late Feb early March and Delta has a pool with the best guess of late Spring/Summer. I would like to add that I feel very fortunate to have to choose between Delta Air Lines and United Airlines both are great companies. Thanks in advance for your input.

If you start within a few months of each other I’d pick whichever company has a domicile you’d be willing to live in. Once you pick one I’d stick with that company... both have similar pay/benefits... always lean towards QoL.

It's funny seeing all the Spirit and Frontier pilots (e.g., spirited, Excargodog) bash on the legacy carriers. They love to remind us all of the billion dollar losses and how long it will take for international and business travel to return.

They're like clockwork, those two. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the same person.

and legacy pilots try to **** on LCC pilots and remind them their airline is better. It’s all stupid nonsense, but it goes both directions

I’m sorry did I break your concentration from such an informative thread? Here’s your answer. Which airline offers you the soonest class date? Oh they both offered you the same date? Where do you live, or want to live? Anything beyond these two points is irrelevant in that seniority and driving or commuting the least distance will lead to the best career. Arguing over the last year or even 5 is minuscule when considering a 30+ year career somewhere.

Congrats to anyone that has a CJO at either, or both! I'd take the one that offers a better domicile for the needs/desires of you and your family. Contracts change, money comes and goes, but you never get time back so take the one that you don't have to commute to or you'll enjoy living at the most.

Delta lost 30x more money than Spirit.

Maybe they have a point. And job security
