People can go where they want. Bottom line is that if someone has any doubt that United is a great airline to work for as a pilot, they shouldn’t even apply to interview.
The reason why United has unfilled Captain vacancies is because reserve here is a special form of torture. I am willing to bet that Southwest doesn't have Captains that are in bottom 10 percent.
