That's one of the ones he's looking at. What made you leave after 10 years? Thanks.

P.S. I don't know that I'd use "secure" in the same sentence with any airline these days......LOL

I left for the security of UPS and was hoping to finally provide for my family with no worries. I liked the corporate culture... before Davis. Also, age 65 was not a factor. As you can see, it was a bad decision but it didn't seem so at the time. That's the way it goes!

I guess what I don't understand is what behavior UPS is really trying to incentivize by accepting seniority resignations of furloughees... Friend who was furloughed from United told me on his "out brief" with ACP (yeah, I'm sure I can count on one of those here in 9 weeks...not) they basically told him "look, if you take a job that requires resignation from United, go ahead and do it. we'll confirm to them you resigned. then when we start calling back, we'll throw all the resig letters in the trash and call back in reverse seniority order..."

Seems like UPS is just vindictive. I mean, I get put out on the street (by them) and they DON'T want me working anywhere else? Family goes on government assistance I guess? This is really a very strange place. Maybe I'm not what they're looking for... If I get a better deal after finishing grad school, I'd definitely take it over coming back to UPS -- so I guess their disloyalty program is working?!

But I thought you said Delta was more secure???? I'm not trying to give you crap. I'm just trying to understand your thought process.

I think the moral of the story is they never did, don't and never will "care" about you (you being an employee of UPS), therefore plan accordingly.

I also left Delta after 7 years for the "greener" pastures of UPS. When we left it was DARK, real dark. I'd heard they had 2 months of payroll left when I departed. Fast forward 4 years, and I look fairly stupid, and feel pretty stupid most of the time. Miss the daytime trans cons, and miss the fact that at least Delta pretended to care about you as they were punching you in the face.. Also miss the equity payment that I should have gotten.. But, we'll set the parking brake in 25 years, ok I'll watch the parking brake being set in 25 years and then try and determine whether I made the right decision..

Now i like that. If you think deltoid has more job security please come on over this weekend i have a party and bring that thing you're smoking.

I'd take my chances with 10 years at DAL vs bottom 300 here, you disagree?
