From the anecdotes I’m familiar with, most leave within the first few years. However, we have seen 6 year FOs from United and a 7 year Capt from Delta. Covid definitely spurred some of this. For the most part, the guys who do this we’re always targeting UPS and simply took the first great job offer at a legacy while they waited for UPS to call. I’m sure we have some guys doing the same thing in the other direction. Although, once UPS hooks you on the high pay, narrow body can be a tough pill to swallow.
