I am on vacation and I may even dip my toe in if the trip is right and my wife is annoyed enough with me.
One trip in DAL for Thursday open time and three for Friday. Where are you guys seeing all this premium time? I might need to transfer to another base

Go west, young man (unless you're senior to me then stay right where you are).

I might need to do that. There nothing in DAL. Year four pay is kind of anticlimactic.

I’ve got an app in with FedEx. Praying I get a call/email to interview. Southwest has been good to me but year two pay at FedEx pays significantly more than year four pay and 4-leg/12 hour work days at SWA. It’s a hard decision but commuter airlines are not good for the long term plan.

To each their own. I declined a Fedex interview to stay at WN. It works for me. I rarely do 4 legs/12 hr days at SW, but I feel sure I’d do some 12hr flights at FDX. FDX pay does increase quicker that SW, but there’s long term gain at sw IMO. I like my 3 on / 4 off schedule.

I don't blame you. I had one in for three years (with no traction)...and I drive to work at WN. Not meant to be, I suppose. I don't blame anyone who bails, especially in light of the LUV letter 1221 of us got this winter.

I have been offered a 'silver bullet' recommendation at FedEx, but can't bring myself to go for it. On 5 yr pay, get my 3rd week of vacation next year, have a couple thousand pilots under me, only work weekends and holidays if I choose to. Hard to think about starting over again.

I came here after my last gig started going downhill (its plummeted now). Wasn't my first choice but they called first. Didn't feel like waiting around for a chance at the "best" one.

With that said, Im really happy here. I work to live and this gig hits the spot. I don't drink the cool-aid but I enjoy coming to work when I have to. But then again I can't remember a job I've ever had that I didn't enjoy. Guess its all attitude.
