It would be VERY shortsighted to go to Delta after a year. Why? Look at how many young people they have hired in the last five years. Things will be great when you get into the left seat of a mad dog but realize that long term you will have 2000-3000 people younger than you for your entire career stacked ahead of you. I'm young and am projected to have less than 100 guys ahead of me when I retire. So if I were to bail to DAL for a short term gain (which would be nice) long term it would be a disaster.
Hold the line on scope and we'll get through this.
