Going to piggyback off this topic for some valued opinions. I am extremely fortunate to have a CJO from WN and UA, both of which currently have bases that I would have to commute to.

Was leaning heavily towards UA due to the WB flying mainly for the schedules, but now there’s a strong rumor going around that WN may possibly open a base where I live, which has definitely made the decision harder.

On one hand I like the flexibility of having NB and WB fleets, provides variety and good seniority movement, UA hiring 2000+ next year is also significant. But then on the other hand, the chance to drive to work instead of commute and deal with crash pads is a huge bonus too, even if it means being restricted to one type of flying for the rest of my career.
