I live in Atlanta and Frontier has a base here. I've also been interested in Frontier from the beginning since they seem to fly to vacations spots which sounds a lot more fun than some of the other places airlines fly too. I'm retiring from the Air Force, so flying for a LCC with about 20% less pay would be worth it for me if the schedule at Frontier is easier though. On the other hand American does pay more and I could commute to Chicago and potentially eventually move there. I checked AA class drops and new hires are going to Chicago and my family lives there so no need for a crashpad. I feel like most will say go American but just thought I'd ask to get some feedback positive or negative either way.
Don't pick an airline based on destinations. Those change, as well as the hotels and layovers. Every Marriott or Embassy Suites starts to look the same, eventually. Pick your airline based on: Commute, pay, work rules, seniority progression. You can adjust these as you see fit, but commuting or not is almost always #1 for most people. Why not Delta?
