If the situation were "I'm at AA should I go to SWA" there wouldn't be much support
"I have CJO's to AA and WN" would be more balanced
But the big question here is how much a years seniority is worth at Southwest. Southwest isn't going away - and I wouldn't confuse the LCC model with the ULCC model. They're different. Late night TV doesn't treat Southwest and Spirit the same, at all. It's a little harder to see what the LCC model is today because basically the legacies (that used to serve hot food in coach between DC9's going from Cleveland to Raleigh) have copied it.
There might be a wrong choice, but it's not obvious now. Personally, I think there's a slight edge to AA - size, diversity, options - but they are both SOLID options.
