And, if a 15 year SFO FO doesn't ever want to commute (for a few months) in order to upgrade, then a pilot needs to be satisfied with their QOL and stay put. It is their choice. The most junior captain on both the CRJ and E-Jet at SFO is much less than 15 years.

The problems that SW pilots have are minuscule compared to others.
