Could jump to a major early and get a huge return, could be stuck at the LCC for a while and get a decent gain because yeah you'll make decent money, or could go into bankruptcy and have to start all over. Everyone should be trying to get to a major, but a LCC is kind of a gamble that you'll beat the 12 year and decreasing flow.
Surprisingly I can agree with this statement. The question is, are you willing to wait that long to work for the major with the most toxic atmosphere? AA is definitely the Walmart of the majors. Now, that said, it's definitely a step up from Jetblue, Alaska, Allegiant, Spirit, etc.
