One captain ran the numbers and he would make over $300K more by staying for 12-18 months and flowing to AA than going to UA. He didn’t even bother going to interview after he ran the numbers.
That’s nothing compared to his lifetime earnings at UA vs AA plus giving up 18 months of seniority (3,000 mainline seniority numbers) over a career.
