And then when I ask you "What?! In what way? Certainly not in regards to pay scale, work rules, QOL, contract, fleet, business model....." you don't even respond.
So in regards to your opinion, why is SWA "not as good as AA or UAL"? And how are they "like another Jetblue (sic)"? What is that supposed to even mean?
SWA has domiciles in LAS, OAK and PHX. All very commutable from southern California. Further, OAK is the most junior base. There are about 100 reasons SWA should be, and is, included in this person's search, but you are too naive to realize any of them (or so it appears).
Ok, let me try to clarify what I was saying.. SWA and Jetblue are low cost carriers.. Absolutely nothing wrong with these airlines, I would love to fly for either one..However, Magic also has offers from AA and UAL..Magic wants to be L.A based and aspires to fly long haul as an option..SWA does not fly long haul so that should narrow down his choices to UAL or AA..He wants to live in Los Angeles, American has a base at LAX and they fly international from there..Not so difficult if basic logic is applied..Pay and benefits at UAL or AA are superior to those offered at SWA..Hope this helps understand the situation better.
