i'll give you some free advice, DONT PAY ATTENTION to stuff you read on airlinepilotcentral.com, flightinfo.com or what have you. Do yourself a favor and do some real research on these companies. Most of the stuff on these forums are BS opionions, now they have to originate from some source so the general trends of each airline are kind of true, but most of this stuff is made up rumors, or flaimbait just to keep our boring lives interesting while we are on overnights with slam clickers or bored out of our minds on airport reserve. Instead of relying on these sites, go out and ask pilots that fly for these companies questions. Go to job fairs and ask recruiters questions, granted they will feed you a bunch of BS, but dont be afraid to ask quesitons, dont be rude or start a debate but ask questions. Then compile all your data and choose what airline will work best for your lifestyle, dont chase an upgrade, you will be disappointed! Be patient. just my 2 cents
