If not, sprint to UA. You're 32 with nothing rooting you anywhere from your given factors. Yes risk is inherent everywhere. But stay at B6 and be "safe" but stagnant or have lots of options of at United and make more $$$ regardless in the long run. I'd venture to say if UA is furloughing, you'd be furloughed at B6 as well. Me, I'd rather be furloughed, mid-thirties on UA's list than B6's with Ichan's nose in the tent and financial uncertainty going on. Good luck!
Except a MIA/FLL base is the most likely city to have a pilot base per a recent flight ops townhall. There are more flights out of MIA/FLL than another other city that isn't already a hub/pilot base. If we end up with some Spirit gates at FLL, its going to be a new 737 or Airbus base tomorrow.
