That's only good if SWA is still in business in 2059. That's a long time in airline terms. I faced a similar decision with Allegiant and took the leap to a mainline carrier.
One thing about the legacies is they're too big to fail so your job will be there until you retire. LCC/ULCC carriers not so much. After the last 12 months of turmoil at SWA I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket.
