No WB for UAL in DEN and better QOL at SWA is what caused me to cx my UAL interview. YMMV
I personally like having options, such as once the kids leave home, I can bid for a west coast wide body and have 787/777, A-350 CA to look forward to one day. Commuting is a pain, but with a 10-12 day WB monthly schedule and the pay that comes with it......well, nice to have the option to leave the 3 leg a day NB flying for a while.
Not to mention the benefit of living near the training center for easy sim support pickups. That's easy money right there.
