Many years ago, I read - though I have no way of checking up on this - that the net profit of the airline industry as a whole since its inception was basically zero. It pays the expenses, the people who work there, and not much else.

Delta, at least in my experience, is worlds better than the alternatives domestically. But that depends on where exactly you fly from and to.
