Even though they staff 1 CA/3FO (vs our 2CA/2FO...which is huge btw), my time to WB B was MUCH faster at DAL, and my AAL classmates are nowhere near NB A (aside from E190), while I can hold 717/M88/320/73N A in multiple bases. IF we could actually band our 330/764 up to the top rate (like UAL/AAL), I would put my career earnings against theirs any day of the week.

Obviously this is given everything remains static, which we all know is a pipe dream. Much more than all this, the heavy dollars/heavy QOL goes to the guy who lives in base. That's why I'm at DAL and not AAL.
