Hahahah indeed it's a crapshoot. I should point out that I love SWA. They're the best paid 737 pilots in the industry, they have a great positive culture, and they're here to stay. The decision to go to AA would only be based on long term growth, international structure and the ability to go wide body, and pay and benefits that are scheduled to meet and exceed that of swa by 2016. I know that I may have offended current swa pilots, but that's not my intention. If you already work for swa you're sitting pretty, you've got a nice cushion of AirTran pilots underneath you. If you're a potential new hire, you gotta go where there's movement, AA looks like a winner here.
Also, for those who choose to go to swa I think it's still a good financial decision. Plus it takes one more pilot out of the competition pool for a legacy carrier, so I thank you in advance
