No you wouldn't. "United was the only airline I ever wanted to fly for my entire life and the only airline I ever applied to."
AA's international operations out of LAX are quite small. UA has a huge international presence from SFO which is very commutable.
Pay and benefits at UA and AA are superior to SW? On the 737, I would argue that no, they are not. If they are at all, it's not by much. However, there are sooooooooo many more factors to consider for anyone in this position; none of which you seem to understand or comprehend.
