If you go to SWA with the intent of accepting a UAL class date if you should get one, keep those cards very close to your chest. I’ve heard multiple stories (including a close friend of mine) who gave 2+ weeks notice of their intent to leave for DAL and other carriers and being fired on the spot. Good friend of mine went in to let the CP know with a months notice at the start of the trip, with every intent of flying his remaining schedule. They took his badge, iPad and all other company property right there and escorted him off the property.
