One trip may be AA, and the next may be Delta, United, or Alaskan if you're going with Skywest. I find value in getting to explore the ins and outs of each company before committing to one.

Let me get this straight.......You get "a feel" for a legacy's culture because your contract carrier flies for them?
So a Delta gate agent(who is probably contract) gives you "a feel" for Delta's culture?
Who else do you deal with that gives you this "feel"? How in the world does it give you a "feel" for the pilot that will be sitting next to you at whatever legacy you go to?
I've seen some stretches and the AA/Delta WO have their own issues but WOW is this ever a stretch. "Go work for a non-wo to get a feel for who you will be working for".......You are going to go to whoever calls you first anyway.
