My family works for delta and I get discount buddy passes. By the way, why did I have to pay close to 70 dollars in taxes upon departure from STI in american airlines buddy-pass ticket at the airport ticket counter? I mean, the when you purchase the ticket, it includes all the taxes so why was that added tax put on later upon boarding the plane? Would I have to pay the same amount on delta as well in addition to already taxed ticket?

I wish, I hope. I live in Atlanta. I've heard ATL-SDQ on the drawing board as well. That would be beautiful. I have access to buddy passes as well, but don't mind paying for a direct flight.
I HATE connecting flights!!!!!!! You're right. ATL to DR is a bitch. The hoops you must jump through to pull it off...if people only knew. Miami is a complete waste of time. Flying into NYC sucks, as most flights are into Laguardia, not JFK.
Delta has a ways to go before they challenge AA. What's the deal with them only having one flight time anyway? What's the point? I hope they put more of an effort into this market.
JetBlue will be more of a player in this market, at least initially. They offer more flights and destinations than Delta, and cheaper regular fares than AA, Continental, and USAir.
