Hi Marsha,
Song is a division of Delta.
It is supposed to be operated as a low cost airline for Delta.
Now, the reports I have read (I can't really point you at a website,
this is just reading them over time on the internet, and some aviation
trade journals I get my hands on sometimes)
is that the service on Song is better then the service on Delta.
That is a real subjective statement, and I cant quantify it. It is
just what I have picked up over time from some reading. YMMV.
