He wanted to go to Delta but wanted to go to FedEx more. He applied to places he wanted but got CJOs at different times. He should have just gone to Delta or deferred at the very least. He was not a 121 guy so I don’t think he was fully thinking about what might happen. Honestly I thought it was always a given to take the first class offered . He is in his 40s and was thinking he was behind the hiring wave at Delta and didn’t want to be at the bottom in case of a downturn. He was pretty happy at his current job so he was willing to wait for Fedex.
