-I live in north Florida and moving isn’t an option. United seems the most appealing to me based on variation of flying, however EWR and IAD are the only commutable bases. And they aren’t optimal from a commuter’s standpoint. But United has a ton of retirements and substantial growth planned.
-Delta has the ATL base and like 10-12 flights /day with me with early flights and late flights back home. Super commutable. Far less retirements though and it seems like the hiring wave at Delta has already sort of happened.

Man you did a great job as interim Mec chair and on the BSL, don’t short yourself. You know how much of a dumpster fire that place is and the debt load. Come to DL or go to UAL. Great seniority progression at UAL and phenomenal union & unity, DL won’t be as easy to commute to ATL but hopefully there’s some growth to come and maybe the old farts will move out.
Nothing but respect for you, email your cjo to AA if you absolutely have to go that route, it does indeed work. But god please think about it
good luck!
