Yeah, because flying for Delta we don't get back to back red eyes or backside of the clock flying.
My father retired from Fed Ex. There is enough diversity to their operation that you get what you bid. Being junior isn't great shakes anywhere, but at least at FedEx they have not outsourced so much that any of their pilots have enjoyed being junior for more than ten years.
