TBH, im surprised that many people over 6 years bailed. Unless your going from commuting to living in base, which is priceless imo, it doesn't make a huge difference financially at that point.

At that longevity I understand the the jump to maybe FedEx or UPS. But just jumping to a legacy makes no sense. Same job with just a bit more pay and similar QOL.

I suspect a lot left because they were forced to commute. They’ll get their seniority back around the 5 year mark at a legacy.

Sure if the world continues to hum along without a recession, war or literally anything else that affects leisure/business travel negatively… cause that never happens.

Top 40% seniority in company and making 300k/year would be pretty tough to walk away from in one of the most volatile industries there is.

But hey whatever gets your motor runnin I guess.

Junior FedEx guys are looking at going to delta. Go look at their forum. Things slowed there. Deltas contract ends at $383 for A321 $396 for 321NEO with way faster narrowbody seniority progression, faster upgrades, better sick and vacation, way better profit sharing expected to add probably 10-20% additional compensation on top of already much higher rates. Not just “a bit” more pay I don’t think, and with faster relative seniority on NBs and a better contract, likely better QOL too.
