I think living in the city I want to with SWA is the deciding factor for me. I was just asking others if I wasn't considering every piece of this puzzle and I've read some good answers here to help me make a decision. Thanks everyone!
Just to add some more for you to think about...
I was hired in October of last year. When I run my seniority with zero growth it shows a 15 year upgrade. If I put a 2% growth in then it drops to a 9 year upgrade and increases our numbers from 8,300 to about 11,500 which is what we would need for 1000 aircraft which is where they say they want to eventually be.
With that said the joker in the deck is a possible merger/acquisition. Should that happen then the 9-15 year upgrade goes out the window and you and I are kicking ourselves in the ass every single day for the rest of our careers. Personally I don't trust that won't happen so I'm starting to look really close at FedEx and UPS right now and the commutes involved with both.
