I agree with the above. Just because you have a "number" at AA doesn't mean that you shouldn't apply to other majors. I plan on sending my resume to AA as soon as the window opens. There are many current Eagle captains that are planning the same.

If you botch in interview, you still have the walk on option later on down the road.

Even if our new company shrinks, there will still be movement, which is a lot better than most regionals right now. In the meantime, they do treat us fairly well.
