Top-tier majors will have good 401k plans, plus the travel benefits (which extend into retirement). They will also pay $400K+ in the long-term.

Also once you get above the bottom 20% of the seniority list, the conventional wisdom is that you should be relatively "furlough proof". I don't know how that compares with job stability at Boeing.

Long-term, airline schedules would provide better QOL flexibility, and better pay, but there would be some dues-paying when junior. But plenty of folks would kill for a $200K job flying big jets on a 9-5 basis in a place like SEA.

I think your question is really about long-term stability and schedule, and finances.
