IDK I have friends at FX who are miserable! Red eyes tough schedules and not the best culture… they would all come to UAL in a heartbeat. Having said that I also have a friend who left UAL for FX during the pandemic, he is not regretting it one bit.. To each it’s own.
I personally prefer flying human beings to their destination but that is just me.
Both great companies, leaving a CJO on the table for a company that will retire 90% of its pilots in 15 years will hurt at some point in time… Good luck.
