What's that saying, "one in hand is worth two in the bush"?

I ran into an ex Mesaba guy who is there, and he was all smiles. He said he loved it. I will grant you, he is probably still in the honeymoon phase, but yeah....happy dude. And hey, if ya get your Airbus type, plus your other experience, who is to say Delta won't take you in a few years anyway? Shoot, they will be depleting pilots from their competitor.
