Surely tens of thousands.
Some pilots here at UPS get myopic, and are unable to see the big picture. Second year pay of $150K is no different from getting hired at American and becoming an MD-80 captain at Year 2.
Plus, he would enjoy at Year 2 more time off than an MD-80 captain in LGA.
We have our downsides at UPS, but overall guys aren't leaving because of the good pay and TIME OFF (my junior crashpad roomie-- bottom 5% in domicile-- got four weeks off utilizing one week of vacation).
