I am sort of in the same boat. I am going on year 3 at AS with a spot in the pool at WN. If I was anywhere else, it would be a no brainer. I would go to WN. Right now, I don't know what I am going to do. I really like the AS flying and living in the northwest. Things aren't great here right now, due to negotiations. But I really feel that things (pay) will get better with this new contract. I can't consider pay as a deciding factor since we all know pilot pay rates change with every contract. Right now Southwest is at the top as far as pay goes, but next year it will probably be someone else. You can only make decisions based on what you know today because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.
