Why don't more of you disgruntled mainline guys try for UPS or FedEx? I know that the majority of guys/gals we've been hiring have been furloughed major pilots with a military background. When our new contract is settled, second year F/Os will probably be making 6 figures. IMHO, it's nice that we have been hiring lots of former major pilots because they know what it was like to have it all and won't settle for anything less here as our company has the means to give it. That's in contrast to hiring someone with strictly a civilian/regional background who is all bug eyed at the thought of flying a widebody and is just happy to be here at any pay and would probably not fight very hard to get more.
