Currently, my Commute to MCO (tons of direct flights/mil unit is in FL) is easier than MDW for me (no direct flights, but 3hr drive).
If I go to United I could have both ORD/MCO options. ORD works a lot better from IND than MDW. I turn 30 next week. At this point I feel like the best thing is to enjoy SWA in the meantime and whenever United gets back to me I can make a decision then…any advice? I still have the itch to fly WBs but I know I’m taking a seniority hit, but then I look and see I have 35 yrs left and I feel like I’ll be fine if I switch, plus having ORD in my backyard makes it very doable. Thoughts?
as someone who left NK after 12 years and the age of 44, if I were you I’d go to UAL in a heartbeat. Better bases, more variety, more “planned” growth and more retirements. What I would give to have the opportunity to come to United 14 years ago
