You can get PHX pretty quickly right now. It is a senior base right now in the sense that it takes a while to hold a line, upgrade to CA, etc. that can and likely will change. The other bases aren’t bad to commute to from there, I’d imagine,but don’t know.
With all that said, if you’re comparing SWA and AAL, take the long view please. Don’t base the decision on your first year or 2 at either company. There are pros and cons to both jobs. You’re likely to get more negative comments on here about AA. There seem to be quite a few SWA cheerleaders on the board, and many AA pilots unhappy with our contract. Don’t take that too seriously, at the end of the day, both are great jobs...and different.
Also, take the first job offered, because the second might never call, or the interview could go bad.
