I almost left FedEx for UAL in '97-'98. I am very, very thankful I didn't. No complaints from the back. If your flight level is bumpy, who cares? We even have a lot of day flying if that's your gig. It boils down to more money,less whining, more stable company vs more status at your kid's ballgame, looking cool in that nifty hat. Good Luck with your choice.
