Hate that things have gotten so rough, but the future here looks grim. Thanks for any advice/feedback,etc.
I left FDX for AA two years ago. My biggest regret is staying at that dumpster fire in MEM for as long as I did. As a lineholder living in base, my QOL is the best I’ve had in my career.
DFW and CLT are the most senior bases so will take the longest to hold, most likely, but how long is anyone’s guess.
There are several others on this forum that have or are preparing to make the same move. I personally know a few others including a classmate of mine.
I’ve written quite a bit on the subject so if you have any specific questions I’d be happy to answer here or in a PM.
