They are now tied to cash price. So the only games have to do with dynamic cash
pricing and how many "value" 1st class seats they make available per flight. Economy awards are based on cash price...just like Southwest.
That's what it looks like to me. And I've been looking at and booking a lot of award tickets.

Everyone bags on Southwest, but I swear every time I fly another “nicer” airline I have delays or other issues.

Southwest has a higher rate of delays than many other airlines

I’m guessing recent meltdowns have skewed that quite a bit

Nope. Still true even before the last few months

I’ve never been delayed on Delta. I know it happens, but it never has to me

If I were flying mostly in the west, I can see why people like SWA.

It is highly regional if SW is any good or not. From SLC it's probably OK

Southwest was behind Delta, United, Alaska, and Tied with American for delays

If you regularly fly first class with Delta then there is no comparison with other U.S based airlines…

Obviously I, like 98% of flyers, am not comparing first class options here

I'm comparing economy, and Delta is way better than SW
Plato

Well if you’re comparing delays, Delta is #1 for on time flights and Southwest

I don’t have much experience with Delta, admittedly. Every option with them takes us through Atlanta first

That’s bad luck, but also a very small sample size, out of millions of flights

Spirit is far worse in terms of delays than SWA.

Once you have platnium or higher status on Delta, you can’t beat it if you live

Aren't SW points redeemed at 1.5 cpp? Delta is 1.5 and even better

But Delta constantly plays games with points.

I love Southwest. Fly them on average three days a week. They have treated me very well.

I bag on SW for the reasons you say you don’t fly the “nicer” airlines. Two weeks ago my daughters cheer squad got stuck

Padding the schedule probably influences some of the on-time metrics.

I'd like to have a pilot comment on this. I think they heard they can't account
