3. United provides crew meals, parking, uniforms, dry cleaning
4. (I am a commuter) Long call reserve at United vs perpetual 2 hour shortcall at SWA
5. Better hotels at United
6. more minimum days off at SWA, but you work more hours during your workdays at SWA.

Pay rates are about the same on the 737, but no wide body so essentially you are capped...plus I am looking at about 10-14 year upgrade...

This is a much more difficult decision than I thought. If anybody has made the jump please message me.
2-3 years at United to be a widebody FO. You'll work a lot less at that job than at SWA. You just have more choices at United. But you are really in a good position.
