If they are going to optimize more than they have already done, it will get worse, no matter how sunny you try to make it sound. I have no desire to do 4 leg AM out-n-backs. When I do a 3 leg, I feel they are borderline dangerous!! Not everyone can move to Memphis for various reasons, and you'll thank yourself for staying away from the armpit of America. Join the other side if you want, I for one want what is best for ALL of us.
Memphis might be some pilots home town. I get sick of people trashing it. Most people will do it to your face and not even care. If you dont like memphis there are other airlines you could work for. I would rather that you dont move here but its rude to bad mouth it. The company should not care if you commute. You are based in MEM. If you dont want to live here than you should be on your own to get to work. I think FDX bends over backwords to cater to commuters. So what if there are 30 out of 200 lines that are out and back. Dont bid them.
