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.

Congrats on having two great offers!
For whatever it’s worth, the happiness index seems to be higher at delta. Every airline pilot engages in sport b*tching, but it seems to be more prevalent at American and more of an ingrained cultural thing.
*source = I work at one of them and commute on both of them.

there’s two sets, 2 flights of any kind with two hours between, or 2 flights with the second being on DL or Delta Connection. They may positive space you on the second flight if you go with the latter policy.

what are UAL and AA’s policies? My point was I had always heard Delta’s lagged the industry.

How did guys commute for the last 40+ years with commute rules that were worse? The difference in commuting rules/policies isn't a deal breaker. Sh1tter commute but with better commuter rules isn't a bonus.

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

I don’t think LAXtoDEN was referring to our commute policy, per se, at United. He was referring to the ability to reserve the jumpseat days out. United jumpseat policy is solely seniority based. The commute policy, however, is two flights on any airline or one flight on a confirmed ticket.
