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.
Also…have you seen what is going on in the world lately? The risk of World War breaking out is higher than ever…all the international flying could come to a halt if Russia decides to drop one nuke. I would argue that it’s safer to bet on domestic flying still being lucrative in the near future than international. We saw the effect of COVID. Imagine another World War.
