OP, I was in the same boat as you. I wanted to live in the DFW area so WN and AA were my 1a and 1b. I received a CJO from both, but went with WN. I've been here less than a year but I have no complaints. It seems everyone in this thread is bitter, but I can tell you that I haven't ran into an ******* yet. I love coming to work and genuinely enjoy the flying. The widebody/int'l stuff had some appeal to me, as I did that type of flying in the military, and the seniority movement at AA was hard to ignore, but for me it came down to where I'd be happiest. I know a lot of guys/gals at a lot of airlines, and even some at AA told me to go WN. Everyone I know at WN is happy to be here. For me, it was about making the most amount of money in the fewest amount of days gone from home. I don't mind working hard for a couple days in a row if I get to enjoy the rest at home. And when I say work hard, I mean shoot an ILS or two, fire off a few radio calls, and load up on pretzels and Deja Blue. This is the easiest flying job I've ever had, so it's hard to call it work. Good luck!
