) Most don't volunteer that info though, so it's not common knowledge. That being said, it does make your path much more difficult.We do get quite desperate for pro instructors from time to time. That would seem to me the best way for you to insinuate yourself into the flight department.
It's all cyclical, when we are desperate for pilots the requirements get much softer. Right now, not so much.

"ALL the 'majors' -and other good places to work". .You needed to ask?

Over the long run, retirement from either is going to be better for the individual than if they had invested their life at UAL or DAL or NWAL.
If one had the choice between Purple or Brown (now I am biased) . . it would be Purple, hands down. Not for money -or rig -or lifestyle. But, for the way you are treated by your overlords.
The company (FedEx) was founded on the concept; "People, Service Profit". Some might take issue about how the motto has been twisted around over the years, but, from what I hear, FedEx IS a MUCH more "people friendly" place to work than the Dark Side.
