Keep working toward the goal! Hopefully the QOL will return to something worth bragging about. It is a much better job market forecast now for getting hired at the majors. If you network well, you'll be here sooner than you think. Would you leave DAL for here?
My friends, who are not from MEM, it is simply a fallback.

FedEx has the most highest minimum qualifications! Most highly qualified pilots will likely be picked up by DAL, UA, AA, etc. before they they qualify for FedEx in the next decade plus. Could be wrong, my crystal ball is the first generation and does not have an inoperative light!
