Being on Resv. at Delta is better anyday than a senior CA at XJT. 12 hr call is normal call time, they can only give you 8 2hr call times a month. You will understand when you make the jump.
I think Freezing's point was that it's better to be a senior captain at ABC regional than a furloughed legacy FO at Delta or NWA. I certainly hope that nobody gets the big F word, but in these times of merger/consolidation uncertainty, being at the bottom of the totem pole at a major might just be your ticket to some very unwanted "time off" after a merger.
