00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
So it was a wonderful week

1
00:02.000 --> 00:03.000
We just elected new MEC reps

2
00:03.500 --> 00:07.000
The crew force was ready for negotiations to resume

3
00:07.500 --> 00:10.500
Then our VP of flight ops sent out an email

4
00:11.000 --> 00:14.000
The title of the email was "Opportunity"

5
00:14.000 --> 00:18.000
So I got kind of excited to see what it was about

6
00:18.000 --> 00:21.500
Turns out it was an opportunity to leave FedEx

7
00:21.500 --> 00:27.000
For PSA

8
00:30.000 --> 00:31.000
For PSA!

9
00:31.000 --> 00:36.000
An opportunity to quit FedEx

10
00:38.000 --> 00:40.000
for PSA

11
00:42.000 --> 00:45.000
So of course I'm thinking this must be April fools

12
00:45.000 --> 00:48.000
But then I realize it's November

13
00:48.000 --> 00:51.000
So I read the email again

14
00:52.000 --> 00:54.000
and I realize this guy is serious

15
00:58.000 --> 01:00.000
250K bonus

16
01:00.000 --> 01:02.000
direct to captain

17
01:04.000 --> 01:06.000
flow through to AA

18
01:07.000 --> 01:12.000
All so I can fly 13 credit 4 days

19
01:14.000 --> 01:15.000
at PSA

20
01:15.000 --> 01:20.000
I left PSA to come here

21
01:21.000 --> 01:27.000
Nobody told me FedEx was a stepping stone to the regionals

22
01:35.000 --> 01:39.000
So now I'm in an infinite loop

23
01:41.000 --> 01:45.000
But now I know its time to get serious

24
01:45.000 --> 01:49.000
I need to straighten up so I can get hired at PSA

25
01:51.000 --> 01:53.000
I declined an interview with AA when I got hired here

26
01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
So I'm gonna be stuck at the regionals forever

27
01:59.000 --> 02:03.000
1000 spots down the seniority list from when I left

28
02:05.500 --> 02:08.000
at PSA

29
02:10.000 --> 02:12.000
but wait, wait

30
02:14.000 --> 02:16.000
there's more to the email

31
02:17.000 --> 02:20.000
he said, and I quote

32
02:22.000 --> 02:26.000
"We have a very good relationship with AA

33
02:26.000 --> 02:29.000
and they have a healthy respect for our crew force"

34
02:29.500 --> 02:30.000
Like FedEx

35
02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
Just like FedEx

36
02:37.000 --> 02:40.500
I turned down every other major to come here

37
02:40.500 --> 02:41.500
even Delta

38
02:51.000 --> 02:55.000
So now I don't know what to think anymore

39
02:57.000 --> 02:58.000
Are you going to leave FedEx

40
02:58.500 --> 03:00.500
Oh I don't know

41
03:00.500 --> 03:03.000
They told me it would be the last job I would ever have

42
03:03.000 --> 03:05.000
That I'd won the lottery

43
03:05.500 --> 03:08.000
That I was saving the world during COVID

44
03:09.000 --> 03:11.000
kind of pulled at my heart strings

45
03:17.000 --> 03:21.000
So I guess I'm screwed

46
03:24.000 --> 03:37.000
I better sign up for Emerald Coast...maybe they have a discount for return customers
