Default I have flown for both.

UPS is a great solid job with awesome equipment.

Delta, on the other hand was fun. Seriously. I never felt that way flying boxes, sitting in Louisville for hours and eventually flying at 4 AM to land at the wrong side of an airport with no flight attendants to go out and play.

Schadenfreude is a dangerous thing...hubris is arguably worse.

Yep. This situation just shows how quickly anything can change. We’re all in this together.

We don’t have FAs to go out with either(at least domestic). Maybe 2-3 times a year do I overnight with FAs.

It's too bad that APC is overrun by folks that don't understand it.

Without having read all the reply’s, the correct response to the OP’s question (Delta vs. UPS) is to get on with whomever is hiring. First phone call wins.

Delta will be furloughing thousands.....hiring won’t be an issue.

my thoughts exactly. Even if they didn’t furlough (or only furloughed very few), execs are already saying it will be 2-3 years before they start hiring again.
