UPS has been great. The people are exceptional and the trips are fun. That said, my gut tells me I will be happier with a shorter commute with Delta.
UPS seniority will be significantly better than DL. Upgrade time is better at DL. The new UPS contract is expected to pay industry top WB pay. But, it’s not all about pay.
I’m blessed to have options. Reaching out to the crowd to see if I’m missing anything by planning to jump over to DL.
Thanks!
Personally I would run not walk over to Delta. Fed Ex has shown us how quickly the long haul cargo flying can get decimated when you have someone running the company hell bent on finding cheaper alternatives to cargo flying. That could very well be UPS some day. Also consider if you would move someday would it be more likely towards a Delta baser or a UPS base.
