Also to make this conversation more interesting, I fly a “Heavy” part time for my mil job. Would you say it’s still worth chasing a WB at the airlines if I have the opportunity on the mil side?
Earlier you wrote you could see yourself being happy at either airline.
This implies to me that you have not yet “become happy” at WN.
What exactly defines your happiness?
To play devils advocate, let’s say it’s upgrade that would seal your happiness.
You mentioned a two year upgrade possibility at UAL. Flip side is how many UAL pilots bypassed? How many could bid on top of you perpetually keeping you junior?
If the upgrade at UAL is 5 years, by the time you get there you may have had the opportunity at SWA.
How many pilots are below you on the WN list?
As a father of two, i understand spending time with the kids. How would you manage the disruption to your child with your new job/junior schedule/domicile changes?
We all have feelings and try to chase happiness. The feelings are real to us…but sometimes feelings are wrong.
I would hate to chase a possibility of happiness only to be unhappy over there.
Maybe it’s time for you to reflect on what happiness really is to you.
Some people are just unhappy wherever they are.
