Default My experience says that isn't the right answer

Regardless of your decision, good luck in your career.
I was fortunate enough to receive a job offer from CAL prior to my interview with FedEx. In an effort to do the “honorable” thing, I requested that my class date be postponed. The person who took my phone call at CAL indicated that it wouldn’t be a problem, but I received a phone call a couple of hours later from the Chief Pilot. The chief pilot had a very short and to the point conversation with me that ended with him withdrawing CAL’s job offer. My advice is pick just pick one and go hang out until your number one calls.

Best of luck,
