AAL will probably be comparable after its next contract is signed, so not sure pay and work rules are differentiators. My plan is to go with the first one that offers me a training date.
What big reasons am I missing for one over the other?
What city will you be commuting from? At AA you can reserve the jumpseat on mainline flights. That’s about as stress free as it gets. I don’t think you can do that at united.
