My priority isn't WB at all. More so long term viability of the company, company performance/financials, job stability. You guys are killing it at Delta. Seem to have sensible leadership too. SWA is a rudderless ship. Significant stagnation, back to 10 year upgrades, etc. I really don't know if we will be a great place to be in 5, 10 years.
Experiences are highly variable. UALs new reserve rules just kicked in, so that end of it may be considerably different.
QOL takes many forms. UAL has an arguably better front end pilot experience. Better DH, better crew meals, smoother IT, and better pay integrity. Looking on Googlemaps, their training center looks pretty nice, and I wonder if they have some of the food/hotel issues we have. More variety in WB flying. If those kinds of things matter to you, then it might be part of your calculation, especially over 35 years.
