If the furloughed Brown pilot refuses to accept the recall, I will be surprised. It's not a Johnson measuring contest, but 3rd year pay at UPS vs. finishing probation at FDX is a tough choice. Fedex is expanding aggressively, which is all well and good, but is that growth sustainable? That 1.a.2b xyz clause you guys have may make a recall to ups more attractive too.
In any event I wish us all long sustained prosperity at both companies. Congrats, and hopefully cargo will return to stability again for pilots.
