I wouldn’t go to SWA unless:

1) You wanna spend several legs per day locked in a loud, cramped cockpit for the rest of your flying career.

2) You prefer long days and short overnights, often in places like Lubbock, Fresno, or Bradley, CT and frequently staying in near-budget hotels located next to busy roads or highways with limited meal options.

3) You’d like to not have the option of upgrading in the next 10–15 years.

*Something to consider: if you’re fired up about opposing the vax mandate and such, SWA is probably where you want to go. UAL’s and SWA’s approach to it, so far, have been pretty much 180 degrees out from each other. UAL has taken a hard line on it. SWA seems like it’s much more friendly to the vax-hostile crowd. Depending on who you are, that’s either a good or a bad thing.
