Wait, why would someone leaving now to delta be trying to get a job a at regional?
Why do pilots say talking points that sound like what management would say at the bargaining table?
Leave for Delta then if you think I'm a management plant... Enjoy your time there. In a year they'll furlough and that'll come from pilots on the bottom. Enjoy. Then you will be looking for a regional to work at. That was the point. Or you could just stay and enjoy your life. All you can do at FedEx is what you feel like helps out our NC.
Delta is super awesome though... Go have fun. I hope you've been at FedEx more than 4.5 years...
