So, drive three hours to work after about a year on reserve for more days, or commute to a better line at a junior domicile. No one can predict what January will look like this far out, though--probably better to revisit what the landscape looks like in 4 months.

Not sure if SWA offers a paid move after probation like United, but certainly keep extending your mil move and get them to pay for it. It's nice to keep that company paid move for the future if you can.

Sometimes career planning ISNT about what kind of plane your arse is in, AS LONG AS IT’S IN A SEAT.

None of us know what’ll happen, not until we set the brake the last time walk off…
