Always take the bird in the hand! He is definitely regretting his decision!
It's still crazy to me that there are people turning down legacy CJOs. There is a lesson to be learned here. Don't apply to places you do not want to go and don't burn any bridges. Your buddy could have easily differed the Delta class a month or so. There was no reason to turn down the job right away.
