Upgrade will be about the same at both places and I’ll be able to be left seat in DEN sooner. I’ll take a few bucks less to deal with that. Hopefully UAL and DL knock the next CBA out of the part and we can ride the wave in 2020.
I just consider UAL, DAL and AMR as being on a higher tier than SWA. If I were hired by SWA i would try really hard to bail for one of the other three if I could within a few years. I’ve always considered SWA as a high paying commuter airline.
