Seriously, here's my situation. I live just outside of NYC, currently commute to ATL for AirTran. Been here just over 2 years. Got an interview with Delta in a few weeks, but also probably will have one with FedEx when they start up again.
If you lived at one of Delta's bases (I might move to Atl or stay right here), how would you compare the two? I don't care about flying pax at all, BUT I'd like to maximize time at home, and even though I know FedEx has great schedules and great pay, it still seems you spend quite a bit of time away from home.
5 and 6 day pairings, etc. I could more easily see 1 trip to Europe and back per week, a 3-day trip, every week vs spending these huge blocks of time away, such as doing a 12-day intl trip with FedEx spending 72 hours at a hotel somewhere.
Looking for some guidance from those with experience on this. I know I should lean towards FedEx simply for more job security (considering I pass either interview), but just not sure. Thanks.
