My guess that I'd be 100% of them.

If you need a break from ten legs a day, and never leave Texas.
Then maybe it's time to move on.
But pick somewhere better than where your currently at.

The barista at my local coffee shop asked me if her new hire boyfriend should leave Southwest for Fed-Ex.
I have the utmost respect for the whole Southwest organization.
But my advice was, YES.
That way you could be based in Germany and fly all over Europe and still earn top American wages.

It is about time that this will be stopped!
Fedex pilots flying around in Europe and Asia
and in the meantime stealing local pilot jobs!
A big scandal which should be banned immediately!
They get their permits based on grand father rights from
WW II which is now more than 70 years ago!
In the meantime EU pilots are not allowed to fly commercial in the US.
Unless you have a green card and FAA papers.
Fedex UPS pilots must be stopped flying in Europe NOW
