Where are you coming from? Do you have another other offer or irons in the fire?

I personally would look for carriers that you often see mentioned that rank highly as a brand. JetBlue, SWA, Virgin, DAL. For a lot of us regional guys, US Airways was the only 'legacy' who was calling us. To be frank, very few of the guys hired on the Airways side between 2012-2014 were even competitive at the LCC's, they just got lucky with the lottery recruitment system. The type of people AA is hiring is much different than the type of guy Airways hired. I had an offer from another carrier but only after starting class, long term, not sure if I made a good choice. Short term no brainier, but just look at how fast SWA grew in the mid-2000's basically at the expense of US Airways.
