Candlerkid, thanks, yes I will support the good team. The problem with both Delta and Fedex is that I don't know anybody there, let alone guys I have flown with. I am not Navy, or Air Force, or a commuter airline that had contact with Delta. An outfit where I flew 727's went t/u and guys went to... Atlas (no major was hiring anyway). Another where I flew big jets the same, it was Atlas or overseas. Previous airline guys are bailing to.... Atlas, or overseas. Yes, a couple went to fly light twins and except for one they are not happy. And most of these guys, like me, have a reason why Delta, United, Fedex are not picking them up: they are one out of 10.000 applicants but have nobody on the inside, someone who can act as reference, or someone who can knock on a chief pilots door.
If Delta would call me 2 things will happen: I will fall of the chair, and after I have recovered I will hang out the flag. (in other words, I am not holding my breath on that one).
