I think I read about some that recently went the other direction (Covid scare) and weren't too happy and wished they'd stayed at a legacy. Maybe was in the FedEx forum?
I'm guessing you're at FedEx and contemplating a jump?
To me jumping from a Purple/Brown to pax should be avoided unless:
-You can live in base
-You can't handle night flying
Even though things are looking rough at FedEx now, consider 2-3 years ago there were pilots with 4-5 years jumping to cargo. IMO, not a smart move unless it's for commuting or you just hate pax flying. So don't make the same mistake in the other direction. You're playing the long game here, in 5-10 years cargo might be the golden child again.
