I'm pretty sure the top tier airlines aren't too concerned about one leaving for SWA. Why would you leave a comparable paying job, take a temporary pay cut, loose valuable seniority and start over? I could see it being a consideration at a lower paying airline. If it hurts me...so be it, I'm not going to loose sleep over it.
