When comparing UAL to DAL, don't forget that virtually ALL of DAL's ground staff (above and below the wing) except for MX is "outsourced" to DGS (DAL Global Services). DGS employees are non-union and a majority are part-time.
Not only is it a lower actual cost of labor, but it also ends up in a separate entry from labor (pilots, FAs, Mechs) on the financial report. Meanwhile, all the UA hubs and most of the large stations are staffed by mainline employees.
One can compare UAL to DAL, but it's not apples-to-apples without moving some items around on the spreadsheet. But yes, DAL is still lower.

I did not know the Delta gate agents weren’t Delta employees any more.
Whatever. If all you claim is true, it confirms in part why Delta chose Atlanta over Minny, and why their profit sharing is higher.

It is apples to apples. We just slice em different. Two major US Flag carriers. There isn’t a better comparison.
