Any insight would be appreciated!
no way to kmow but AA WO is the best possible mistake if you’re wrong. You’re guaranteed a major job eventually.
UA hiring for 2026 looks strong. Competitor regional captains are sought after. Also the ulcc model is looking rough. Id keep the guaranteed AA mainline job and stalk united.
