Once again you fail to look at the whole package. How much WB international flying JV agreements have they allowed over the past 10 years? I came from that world. You forget about our total retirement package. Much superior. You forget about our DSA spillover. Many don’t have this including Delta. You forget about our scope which has kept much more of our business being done by FedEx pilots and not a code share or regional feed. You forget about vacation and hard line biding which allows conflicting and it bennies. You forget about our system form with deadheads on trips which allows deviation and numerous extra paid days at home.
If the grass is so much greener then GTFO and stop acting like everyone has it so much better.
