A quick glance @ airlinepilotcentral.com's at rates may be an eye opener. I don't have hard numbers, but I could only guess how many 30-ish 1st year FOs on 1st year pay @ HA would pass on chance @ FedEx.
that is what happened.... people generally don't come to HAL for type ratings and quit.. This was a rare and special case. Moreover, I believe that guy was from the Islands to begin with.
