Keep laughin' ML...there are a number of union folks who do this work.

I don't see a positive future for US airlines in general, particularly the big 3. I do think SWA has a bright future though.

I'm hitting the job fairs this year. If I can't get on at UPS or FDX then I guess I'll ride it out at AA.

Be sure and tell 'em that in the interview. Do everyone (including yourself) a favor.

You'll do fine at AA, bunch of old farts retiring, 787 guys first.

Seriously. You should say exactly THAT in the interview. Just work in "slumming."

Considering he's been applying to the cargo carriers and not pax airlines that's a valid answer when he's asked why are you leaving AA or why FedEx over Delta

What are you even talking about?

Some guys are perfect for night freight. He's gonna be great.

To each their own.

You don't fly all night in your 787?

"You'll do fine at AA, bunch of old farts retiring, 787 guys first."

----Do much trolling?

Truth be told (try it sometime), there are a whole bunch of Eastie A330 Captains heading out waaay before I leave. Most of the guys I fly with used to be N/B Captains who decided getting the same money for more time off works better for them.
