Serious question - I've read about most every Regional operator, pros cons etc, etc, but yet to really look at the Majors so..... why is Delta considered by some to be so much better ?

Speaking of hats, what is it with guys who wear theirs...

1. In the hotel breakfast room
2. In the hotel lounge
3. In the van
4. In the crew lounge while on an extended sit. (Saw one SKW captain watching a movie in the SFO crew lounge with his hat on)

Lord, what is wrong with these people? Or am I the crazy one?

They have enough money to buy beer.

I think its a perception that they're pickier with their pilot selection. Whether that's accurate or not, I can't say, but from what I've gathered that seems to be the perception.

Personally, I like them because as a passenger, I've always found their aircraft to have the best level of comfort (for US airlines). Also found their customer service to be particularly good. Would prefer to work for an airline that I feel serves the customer well (and pays well )

Best I've been on so far though was Austrian. Primarily because the food was awesome (relative) and the beer was great.

I always found it easier to stick it on your head than carry it around.

Yes, but in the breakfast room? While eating breakfast? Or watching a 2-hour movie? Seriously? When I was growing up, one removed one's hat indoors. I understand having to wear it in the terminal, but I'm sorry, anyone who wears it indoors while eating a meal or vegetating on a crew lounge couch...is someone I hope to never have to fly with.
