My biggest priority is flexibility. I would like to work the least amount possible as my wife makes decent money and works from home. I’m hoping to spend as much time at home helping raise my children.

I am worried about the Max issues and seniority at SWA.

AA worries me with the financials and commuting.

I’ve read every thread I could. I’m hoping for more updated opinions.

Thanks!
AAL MIA Long Call Reserve until you can hold a decent max days off line. Seniority progression is swift in MIA. I’d remain a senior NB FO, then bid MIA WB FO when you can hold a WB line.

I think the first year favors SWA slightly, but after it’s AAL all the way. Best of luck with your decision.
