But......

Nearly 40% of your co workers voted to ratify a blatantly concessionary TA, just a few short months ago.

They are STILL out there. Need proof? Count the flag ties next time you go to work...........


To the OP......

The opportunities at DAL and the other majors are going to be unbelievable for the foreseeable future. At SW, not so much. You will work your a$$ off at SW compared to any other major.

Given the choice, I'd move to a DAL domicile and enjoy a major airline pilot career vs. that of a (better paid) regional.

It's getting so bad here that we have guys bailing like rats off a sinking ship.

Heck, there's rumor of a 16 year Captain that is getting his stuff together to bolt.

If I was 15 years younger, I'd give serious thought to putting some apps out..... The commuter pilot schedule gets old after a few decades.
