Hey guys, not to beat a dead horse as I see many people comparing SWA to many different airlines. I currently have a CJO at SWA and Delta and am trying to decide which route I want to go. I currently live in DFW area and foresee myself living here in the future. I initially wanted to go to AA being that I could get a DFW base and do diverse flying, but AA does not hire much outside the flow from my regional. Anyways, I have been reading all the complaints at SWA and I know it’s not a great time at SWA due to prolonged contract negotiations.. is it really as bad as everyone makes it out to be? There’s not doubt Delta is probably the best managed and has the best contract (for now) which is why I definitely have interest to go there. I also think the ability to fly internationally on wide bodies may be cool, but have never done that sort of flying so I am not sure how much I would like it. I should add that I am 25 years old so very young in the industry. Is there anything that I am missing that I should be considering? I surely don’t like the idea of commuting for my whole life which is making me lean slightly towards SWA over Delta.. but it’s hard to give up that good of a contract and ability to do more diverse flying some day that would come with Delta.

I appreciate y’all’s input, thank you.
