The main difference is that if you don't like how congress runs something, you can vote in someone else. You can't vote out the CEO of Delta Airlines. You are powerless and should expect the airline to treat you as such

Or you can fly United, or American, or...
That assumes you have the option. Not all airlines fly to all locations. They love to carve up route maps and build up fortress hubs to prevent competition.

Do they fly out of the airport I normally depart from, or any other that is within a 2 hour drive?

You can buy stock in Delta Airlines, which entitles you to vote on the management of the company.
Check out the 5 year chart of Delta stock. It's gone from $60 to $38. I'm wondering what happened to all that profit you alleged.
Congress very specifically, by design, does NOT represent the will of the people. It represents the will of land area. Even the part that was originally supposed to be representative of population no longer is due to shenanigans, and also over-represents land instead of people. We probably shouldn’t get into the pros and cons of this system here, but I did want to correct your fundamental misunderstanding.
