Delta

AA has better point value and alliance. Delta has better service. I optimize for leisure time, so I'd go AA.

DELTA

AA has better point value by a decent margin, so if you're looking to build point value, AA. That being said Delta typically has better service, and beyond that you should optimize for the most convenient routes

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
