At your age it’s a very easy decision. SWA will continue to shrink for years. Not to mention over 35 years of flying a POS 73? Do you like torturing yourself in your free time?
Hey at least you can brag to everyone you’re the highest paid 73 pilots in the industry. All the widebody pilots making significantly more money at the big 3 with less years on property and more days off are laughing hysterically.
SWA is a walking L atm. These are the same pilots who gloat about the days the big 3 were furloughing while SWA was hiring, so don’t feel bad for them. Don’t walk, RUN.
