Thanks for all the input. Definitely gave me some things to consider
Keep one thing in mind, when guys tell you that they left NJ to go to a National airline, chances are they left NJ before the new contract took effect. Since the contract passed I haven't met anybody willing to leave NJ for Airtran, Frontier, Spirit, or Jetblue, maybe only Southwest. I would never leave NJ for a National now. I was hired at Airtran two years ago, I went with NJ. It was pre contract, so it was a big gumble for me, but as soon as the contract passed I realised it was the best profesional decision I'v ever made.
QOL on the road- at the airlines is better, you have a schedule
QOL at home- there is no comparison, the fractionals win. Sometimes I get home before noon on my last day. That's almost 8 days...
