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

Is it possible for me to reenter US on tourist visa?

Anyone managed to fly their parents down from India to US off late? Cousin’s pregnant, trying to book tickets for early Dec. trying to understand how entry here is playing out here. I know Qatar and Emirates aren’t operational yet for flights from India to US.

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.
