The fact that UAL and American provide hotel in training plus per diem and 70 hour guarantee sets them apart from Delta...for broke pilots, that's a big deal... Yes career expectations at Delta are great once training is complete but the hotel thing is a big deal

DAL good so far about getting new hires through trng in 75 days or less.
First two weeks have hotel covered during initial. Also, some new hires are going to Miami for sims which gives them a hotel as well.
Even the new hires who use crashed during training find out that reserve in NYC as a new hire can be more of a pain than initial trng.
