With all the uncertainty in aviation, the crystal ball required to make a substantially better move in moments of "crisis" is a big and clairvoyant one. What makes you think you can second guess the future to that degree? Oh yeah, the fact that you have the ability to extract job offers from multiple carriers.

In the 90's, when i was flying a 207 out of St Mary's Ak, I was routinely jump seating on United and FedEx. I regularly rode on an I.D. that could have been fabricated on a printer at Kinko's....but it wasn't. FedEx guys respected my I.D. and my story, while I was treated like **** at United 50% at the time. Those experiences taught me the value of solidarity and professional respect, and I vowed never to work for United. It also cemented my vow to never apply to any passenger carrying major, because that experience was to a lesser degree repeated at others.

If you're through the pool, indoc, training and IOE at FedEx and you want to jump ship because you think that highly of your brain's ability to future-cast, then you are delusional. You now work as a pilot at a company that has not only survived multiple economic downturns, but has done so with class and style and want to trade that for the stumbling retarded black-sheep of US aviation that only exists because it is too big to fail. If so, then good luck. You'll need it, genius.
