Currently at SW with a CJO at DL. Live in Denver, 28, will eventually be married with kids. I love Colorado, and I refuse to commute. If I took the DL job I’d move back to SoCal where my family is. I really value the QOL and flexibility that Southwest gives me, but I love the variety and options I would have at DL. Seniority wise, WN is astronomically better. I will be 25% at WN when I hit 50% at DL. I’ll spend the last 15ish years of my career in the top 10% at WN.
I think I’m feeling a lot of peer pressure to leave since nearly all my friends at WN have left in the last year for legacies. My family and SO support either job, I’ve talked to many people at both airlines, and I’m really not sure what to do. Am I an idiot to stay at Southwest with such an incredible job opportunity on the table?
