Differences Between Major Airlines

There is no difference, they are all crap. Fly the one the best meets your times and budget.

I'm debating between Delta and American for a trip to Key West. American has better arrival times available but I'm unfamiliar with their policies.

Their policies are very similar so it really doesn't matter except for price/timing/personal preference. I fly American all the time and they're usually nice to me (not to say there aren't some bad apples). Did the stopover in Atlanta not end up working out?

I agree with there isn't a big difference. I fly delta and southwest mainly and notice subtle differences. Since delta charges for bags, people seem to have more carry-ons that push the limit on size. If the flight is mostly full, the last few people to board have to gate check their bags. The boarding procedure is more organized with SWA. Delta has groups but people tend to stand by the gate entrance to wait.

I think we have a number of posters who have Delta as their primary airline (myself included). Northwest Airlines was my favorite and the best in my mind. Continental was awesome until purchased by United. American scares me because of their merge with US Scare. Southwest is many of my friends primary airline, but I am not a fan of the cattle call and seating.

Lastly the term for these people:

Delta has groups but people tend to stand by the gate entrance to wait.
