What if you are a commuter? Inputs on DAL vs AA? Not concerned with WB or maxing out pay as much as possible. More going for the QOL and family time. Midwest living and near similar commutes to muiltiple AA & DAL domiciles. Thanks in advance.

Plus neither have the language about reliability and commuting strategy counseling if use is excessive. Or whatever weasel language we have.
