Go with the TWA.

Tradeoffs

You do need to seriously evaluate your choices.

FedEx offers a stable income, good growth potential, and the a potential quick upgrade in the next couple years. Cons are night flying and upcoming contract negotiations and associated stress.

TWA offers a tremedous amount of time off. Benefits, while lacking, allow you to explore your own initiative and see what you can develop. Schedules are extremely flexible...in fact...I think you can pretty much have any day off you need without even having to contact the CP or scheduling staff. You will also have very limited exposure to other crew members, so any interpersonal issues (as well as exposure to colds and other viruses...) will almost non-existant. While pay and benefits are limited, there are also ZERO deductions for union dues, health care insurance, FICA, etc etc.

Good luck in your decision and keep us posted.

Go with TWA....

Who would want to fly boxes all night long?

Plus, TWA has one of the fastest upgrades in the industry right now!

You'll get to fly your choice of American Eagle regional jets, and be instructed by highly experienced IOE First Officers!

And don't forget the unlimited supply of Cheddar Mix!

Leading the way........

Definately TWA,

How can you beat "one new plane every ten days"?

What did they offer for a class? JFK 747 or LAX 1011?

 

[PHXFLYR]

Neither....I got the Super Connie out of MKC !!

"There's no money in freight"...

That is a quote from a former TWA executive as they reduced the operatins out of KCMH.

I was hired directly to the right seat of the DC9. It was the third class to get a right seat since the 1960's.

If only I had know about the BBQ in Memphis!

 

[AA717driver]

With TWA you save a bunch of money on union dues.

Plus, you get access to a really cool website... TC

Nice post Albie!

...It should also be noted that Hollywood pretty-boy DiCaprio turned down playing the part of your CEO--I understand that it is now between James Cromwell and Christopher Walken...
