Upgrade times on east coast are long and seniority movement very slow.
But for what it’s worth, I have received a CJO from AA and will be leaving SWA soon. I am a victim of commuting on the east coast to the worse seniority in the system and projections for me to even get to 50% seniority are still 4-5 years away (this gives you weekends and holidays off)

Max - If you don't mind, I am curious - you're leaving WN for AA after 16 years...how old are you/how many years do you have left? I turn 55 this year, and am weighing my options as well. Thanks.
