Is Delta really that much better than UA or am I stuck in a "grass is greener" mentality? Home airport is IAH and not sure it's worth it to switch (can challenge for Platinum)

UA is fine as long as you're not an Asian man or a pet.

if home airport is IAH probably just best to stick to UA unless you can get direct flights from delta everywhere also

In my experience, you may need connections if you're not at a hub, but you get a lot more upgrades than the hub airline. That said, imho, the ranking is United > Delta > American. Partly because of service, partly because of partnerships for international travel.

Hands down Delta is better

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
