Ten years ago? Sure.
Today? No you are full of BS. I looked at the numbers: exactly one (1) pilot left for SWA since CBA 2022.
I have no data on how many people may have left SWA for AS in that time. Probably about the same number, and any such movement either way is probably for a domicile which is a perfectly good reason. However awesome you may think luv is, it's not worth commuting for if another major has a base in your town.
Your koolaid is a bit weak right now, go get a contract and then you can come back here and talk down to the "other" 737 major.
