Now if you want to stay far away from the 73 that’s a different story. But complaints about seniority and upgrades aren’t really an argument. Seniority is likely better progression than at NK and post merger definitely since florida bases are very senior with them. Not to mention UA does have a Houston base which if I remember is fairly junior captain side and has half the cost of living as Florida, depending on where in Florida you live.
It is most definitely an argument. For someone hired today, or someone like you who worked here for like 13 days before getting picked up by a legacy, then yes it makes sense. However anyone in the top half of the NK seniority list would be crazy for leaving if the goal is to be based in Florida as a captain making 300k+

New guys have missed out entirely either way, no more junior CA bases post merger at any airline except for maybe Frontier or Allegiant.
