Just wondering what everyone has to say? I think both companys are great. Just trying to make a good choice, and weigh the pros and cons of both.

Thanks

Both are good gigs right now, but SWA has a lot of potential competition, which may actually become competetive someday. UPS is in a much better postion re. job security and long-term success because the economic and logistics barriers to setting up competing global package-delivery operations are absolutely enormous.
