Hey bluejuice,
Yes, I'm at UPS. I am very fortunate to have gotten here. I count my blessings every day.
I'm sorry that I did let emotion into my original post. Every company has its bad elements. Even UPS. The point that I was try to show is that if you have senority at Eagle, think long and hard about leaving that behind. Senority is the difference between getting furloughed and staying employed with a paycheck. To me, that's what counts. Not commuting and being based in your hometown is a HUGE plus. I just think that the industry is just too volatile to make this kind of a jump. If it was Airtran or Jetblue, I would say go in a heartbeat. Personally, I don't think MidEx is out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination. I think that there are too many ?'s still in their biz plan. For the sake of all my friends that are still there, I hope they make it. I hate to see fellow pilots get the shaft for managment decisions not to increase fares to a sustainable level. (oops, sorry, that emotion thing is coming out again).
Good luck in your decision. This is a tough one. If you have any questions, let me know.
