Easy decision once I received my class date. I would have to slip a class, and at least 25 seniority numbers, to interview at a "back-up airline". I use quotes for back-up because I'd be honored to work at any major, I just happened to get hired by my first choice first.
Just remember...you aren't really hired until you are actually on the property and in training. Feces occurs. Just don't burn any bridges or pass on another interview until then. Congrats!
