The math is simple
AAL 83 credit v SWA 95
23m upgrade AAL 737 DFW
8 years 787 FO DFW
8 years left (age 65) 787 CA DFW
V
12 year SWA CA
current contracts- SWA wins by ~500k with approx 2.5-3yrs more time off based on avg line value.
That's what I did for my comparison in Aug 23 when I turned down AAL.
The goals are different for every pilot.
Wouldnt change a thing in Feb '24
ask again in 2030- who knows.
PM for a more detailed analysis/chart Data/thought process.
