At Alaska I can drive to either PDX or SEA in under 2 hours, and I ain’t ever moving from where I am. I already have the 737 type, and am only 8 months on property. Is it worth it to leave United?
Sure - if your intention is to move to a United base, or you have a great psychological need to someday fly wide bodies. But living in base - or straddling two bases - is hard to beat when you are a junior FO, and even harder to beat when you are a junior CA because you’ll be a junior CA a lot longer than you were a junior FO.
