and he's done the same for every other airline
Oh really! Can you send me links for 10% of that amount of negative coverage from the airline where he carries GS status? And no, United isn't rated 5 stars anywhere!
Even when there's an outrageous incident, he's watering it down, and cannot figure out why the massive outrage?
https://www.dansdeals.com/points-travel/airlines/united/if-i-have-to-give-a-few-thoughts-on-the-united-incident/If that would only happened on an El Al flight?! OMG, I think we'd still be seeing coverage until today. (not specifically from Dan, but all the Israeli media too)
Don't get me wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and can express themselves however they like. Just don't be bias while claiming not to be. I actually don't think Dan himself denies his bias against El Al. He's repeatedly mentioned here that he promotes specific cc's or deals that he benefits more from. There's lots of bashing TPG for denying bias. But you seem to believe that's not the case by claiming "he's done the same for every other airline". Maybe do some DDMS site searching, and see for yourself. Again, not saying if it's right or not to pick on a specific airline, but this post sort of painted them as world's worst airline.
It's not specifically Dan, it's a stylish thing to bash El Al. It's no fun to do that for airlines like SU/PS/AA etc. which make El Al look like a 5 star airline.
I personally flew all of the nonstop carriers between NA and TLV (DL/UA/LY/AC), and in all airlines, there's nicer staff and nastier staff, and better policies and worse policies (I can probably compile a list of a dozen policies where LY is better than UA). And as a travel agent for many years, and hearing countless horror stories across all airlines, my 2 worst ones were actually with DL and CX. And with the ratio to the amount of LY I booked, it doesn't match even close with the coverage we see in the media...
