FedEx I can agree with, Emirates not so much. Hands down they make better money, but it's not worth it to live in that region.
As I was once told you will never know if you made the right decision until you retire. When I got hired, lates 90s, American and United were they place to go. I only applied there and NWA. Hired by 2 with an interview at the third after I took the offer from NWA. Did I make the right decision? Who knows in hindsight I should have at least applied at Delta and should have taken up offers from friends and family to help me get on at FedEx. But that's today's picture who knows what it will be 10 years from now.
Bar I would not know you if I saw you but the way you come across on the interweb is as a bit of a whiner. From the time I have started following this board you have said that you are going to quit Delta for either a some oppertunity you have going or to go somewhere else. Life is too short Bar, if you truly hate it here so much move on.
You have some great ideas and insight and if I am reading you wrong my apologies.

T Square, pilots at Delta have not gained any bidding ability in ten years and many were furloughed. A job at Emirates, or FedEx would easily be a better deal going forward.
Delta looks good on a resume. Most here would have little trouble being hired elsewhere.
We will need to look at the numbers in this "production balance" as well as the possibility that ALPA would enforce it. Our history is that we use scope violations to negotiate.
An airplane with 757 CASM is a 757 replacement, irregardless of its size.

The MEC is not going to sell scope for pay. I have had every rep reaffirm that. What we will see is if there are any changes within section 1, they will be for improvements within that section. Ie scope apparently has been negotiated independtly of the rest of the contract.

you know the more google images searches you do, the more stuff you accidentally find, the more you lose faith in humanity.
It's like reading the news.
Then you find something that gives you hope, that the world will be okay.

I think the real fear is that if the MEC did sell out on scope that we'd have pilots pass it.
Pass it because they want money or because the MEC passed it. Either way, it's something to fear.
