I did Crockrocket, but there are tens of thousands of often polar views on certain aspects, so I wanted to ascertain all the facts in one place.
Appreciate your input, though.
Yes, I am coming from overseas and looking for the best option for myself for the next 12 years.
I want to settle in one place for good (economy permitting) and improve my QOL dramatically compared to what I endure now (Middle East).
What attracts me to Southwest is the flexibility of bidding in the long term, with the caveat of red-eye trips on both ends of a day.

Thanks
