That's because you mix things into to what I say that aren't there. I never referenced whether AA is good or bad in responding to the claim I was "butt hurt". I simply used it as a reference to dispute the claim itself. It's better then the guy who is apparently obsessed about my butt, but inferior to those at Delta.

The answer to that question is different for every pilot. For some, it is where they can advance their quals faster, for others, it's QWL (like not commuting by air) and still others, long term crapshoots like the AA WO's flows. All things being equal, I would weight the more tangible factors over the more theoretical ones. It's odd you would ask me this because I'm repeatedly told my advice is worthless, what being a bitter old man with an ax to grind and a psychopath as well.
