Delta has widely been considered the best in its competitive set for the last few years.
Maybe I've just had poor experiences with them, but the past few flights I've had have been either delayed, oversold, cancelled, or lost luggage. In my cheap airfare of the week threads I have not seem them even reasonably priced in comparison to American or United so there's not really any reason for me to fly them much.
I'll say they are allowed to do whatever they want as a company. If you disagree with their decision, don't fly them. Simple as that.

1. Delta
2. American
3. United
Canceled flights:
1. Delta
2. American
3. United
Extreme delays:
1. Delta
2. American
3. United
2-hour tarmac delays:
1. Delta
2. American
3. United
Mishandled baggage:
1. Delta
2. American
3. United
Involuntary bumping:
1. Delta
2. American
3. United
Complaints:
1. Delta
2. American
3. United
See a trend?

Delta is, by far, the best of the legacy carriers. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't fly very often.
And kudos to Delta on the new policy.

The delays and cancellations are most likely due to flying an airline that runs everything through a deep south city in the summer. I'm a diamond medallion on Delta through segments and this summer has been awful. Lots of ground stops due to storms. When ATL closes for an hour the ripple effect is a disaster.
