Something else to throw into the mix about SWA... the exaggeration factor.

Just look at ATL domicile question on our boards... you’ll see answers of “10 years just to get plug ATL FO... “ and “upgrade time at SWA is 15 years or longer.”

Here’s the reality:

You’ll be on probation still when you get ATL. Anyone displaced from it can hold it now. It’s still senior towards the middle and top of the list.

Upgrade at SWA:

Been here a little over 2 years, and I’m in the low 80’s percentage company-wide. Upgrades are running at 60% company-wide.

Still hiring like crazy with many aircraft coming, plus our retirements don’t start kicking in until 2021-22 timeframe.

Having said that, if I lived in ATL and was set on staying there, it would still be a no-brainer.

Great problem to have!
