10+ years here and talked to an ex-coworker who's been at Delta only about 4 years and making more now than I do, with a better schedule to boot. I've got over 20 years left and beginning to think this place might be a write off. Seriously anyone else thinking the same thing? Starting to kick myself for not considering a bail sooner.
I contemplated it very seriously. But with 2000ish junior to me I decided it was best to stay. UA, DL, FX and UPS have hired a ton of guys in the last few years. If I left for DL, for example, it'd be close to a 5000 number swing.
I've heard horror stories of guys chasing airlines and I don't want to be one of them. It should get better here with time. There's a ton of retirements coming up and god forbid another downturn you don't want to be at the end of a massive seniority list.
