I was hired by AMR, and NWA before I interviewed with DAL. I would still have my retirement at AMR, be 2000 numbers junior to where I am now if I had gone to NWA. It is what it is, a crapshoot. Oh, they are hiring 400 FA's. Hiring isn't even being talked about for 2013 at all, because of MIL leave returnees and furlough bypasses expressing interest in coming back.
