I understand the 401 match is better here but without a bonus I don't see Delta as anything more than average.
Also remember, cargo has a lot of demand right now, my friends at Atlas are picking up OT more that we are picking GS. My friends seem happy, but got disappointed when their contract came down and their pay rates didn’t jumped as much as they wanted to.
They also fly to some hazardous places and get payed extra for that.
I also believe single pilot international flying will come first to Atlas/FedEx/UPS than Delta.
W2 is important, but not as important as QOL + W2. My friend W2 are as much as mine, but I’m home more than them.
