SW FO considering FDX
I’m considering applying to FX after almost 6 years with SW. My reasons are better commuting options and variety in flying. Obviously there are other reasons too. Widebody, international and so on....
Currently, I live in domicile and don’t like the city. There isn’t a SW domicile my wife or I want to live in. We want to live in our hometown. I am going to commute regardless of the company. This may sound crazy but life is too short to live away from family.
Flying the 737 domestically quite frankly is boring. No variety in flying. Our overnights continue to get shorter and shorter and the trip density is high. I block over 700 hours a year.
I’m looking for a change, but I obviously know it would be a monumental move. I would be starting over and losing the seniority I already have at SW.
Anyone with similar experience or prospective I would appreciate opinions.
