Admittedly it’s “apples to pineapples”…. But I feel the company, the culture and the direction long-term that UAL is headed is better than anywhere else.
The covid mess reinforced why you left? I seriously doubt you were sitting there in 2020 thinking "thank god I left purple for UA, I wouldn't be getting this sweet WARN letter in the mail if I hadn't" or "Damn, I'm so glad I left purple for a company that might not actually make it through this without some serious pain."
If you had been at Purple during 2020 your income would have been over a half million more since the time you left. It's not all about money, but that's still nothing to brush off either.
