At least SWA will eventually have some retirements ramp up, but I don’t see retirement numbers on the JB overview page.
So again unless you live in NYC/BOS/FLL areas, SWA is the answer.
Yes I agree SWA is the answer ... till you are an FO. Once you get CP be ready to commute from OAK or BWI ...if you want ... or refuse you upgrade!
