Also, find out how long it will take you to get to DFW/DAL out of training. A couple of years ago new hires at AA were being sent to the East Coast to fly E190s with a 2 year seat lock.









AA has the most retirements, but don’t forget hiring. I’m less than 2 years at SWA and sitting at 73% in seat already.





On a separate note, take a look at the SEC filings for both companies as well as financial industry comparisons. AA has a lot of debt and lower profit margins.



No widebodies at SWA though!
