Thanks everybody for weighing in!
Does anybody have an idea of hiring over the past 5 years at UA vs DL? All the retirements over the next 15 years sounds awesome. But I'm thinking I'll plateau at DL after that and the hires from the past few years will be there until my retirement -2/3 years. UA brought back older furloughs mostly and not as robust hiring yet.
I figure it to be around 3,000 for DL and around 1,200 for UA.
I'm leaning UA:
To earn top dollar at delta, you've got to be on the 777, which they only have 12. (747 going away) Also, the 777 is not based in NYC for DL. Vs at UA, the 777, 764, 747, 787 all make the top pay band. And they have a lot of those planes based in NY.
Thanks!
