3. At 1.5 years in, have you considered moving bases...? What's the commute like to IAD/IAH, etc.? ****, you'd be at 60% or so 737 FO here in SFO....no weekends but you can easily get commutable lines. Double commute...possible.
4. For me, no way I'd live in Orlando while commuting. Competing with revenue pax plus non-rev, no thanks.
5. What if SWA, in the next 5 years, leaves MCO...?
Your #1 would surprise you and could fall either way. Your #5 is very unlikely. It doesn’t mean they won’t ever, but SW has never closed a base... or furloughed one person. They’re pretty proud of that, but doesn’t mean it can’t happen. I would guess an additional FL base before I would guess that SW would leave MCO though.
