At least the Big 3 don’t pretend to be something they aren’t. Will they furlough in a heartbeat? Yep. But at least we were all honest with each other from the beginning. I’ve had dinner with HK, a rare treat. Yep, maybe I’m a little sad.
Let’s see what the wind blows in.
Poopoo still out.
Good luck with your decision...if you have to make one. Normally I would say stay where you are, you're crazy to leave, this too shall pass, etc., but it sounds like you are done. Maybe it is an emotional decision, but life isn't always about the pure numbers. If you're unhappy where you work and you'll be happier some place else even if you might end up making a bit less then maybe it's worth it.
SWA is a great company and I'm not trying to dog it at all, but at a legacy you just have so many more options that even with less overall seniority you can still find your own niche. The only that that would really worry me is furlough from a legacy.
