I have answered this before in other threads so I invite you to search for those, but I know how difficult and even emotional the choice process can be. Only you will know the right answer for you. I did the same thing back in the summer of '23 and not for a second regret it. Yes, I took a paycut in the beginning but my QOL is higher by a much greater magnitude. I have become a happier person which in turn makes my family happier which in the end let's face it, is the only thing that really matters. I write this while sitting on days off in Europe with my family enjoying Christmas markets and thru the same type of swapping (think ELITT) and one Personal Drop (P/D) am off from 21 Nov to 12 Dec (no vacation days used for this). Yes we have PBS, let it not scare you, the flying I am awarded, even on the 737 is again of greater quality, basically all the Carribean and Mexico I want. In the mood for tacos and windsurfing? Bid some Cancun and Aruba. Want some Pura Vida? How about a Liberia bid. You get my point, the flying Widget does is just different than LUV. I enjoy longer layovers to listen to music in Nashville, visit family and friends in Times Square, sit on South Beach, and get some windsurfing in down in Aruba. I used to live so I could work, hunt those TFP and say thank you to the SMF hotel. Now, I actually enjoy going to work and have really changed my views to future WB flying and getting that experience. For reference, I have about 20 years left, so my time horizon is different, read worse than yours. As others have said, it is a different airline. Biggest takeaway, the money is also here like SWA, but what we have that I did not before, are choices and it is hard to place a value on choices. Only you can. Wishing you success regardless what decisions you make. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Fly safe!
