About the same seniority as you. I live in a base I can’t hold, commuting, and every month I get closer to being displaced to a worse commute. The future here is uncertain and united made like 5x our projected yearly profit in one quarter.
Tough to trust that username and 2 posts, but I actually agree with that logic. 2 years of Southwest seniority is worthless right now because we haven't hired for 2 years. Yea, things are going to rapidly change, but United for SFO and LAX are both great places to be. SWA is almost certain to turn the ship around, but it is going to take a while. I personally think Harvard Business School is going to write a case study about how SWA believed its own BS and got ruined by accountants and then turned around by private equity (ironically). It's going to be a long slog, though, and things look a lot better on the west coast at UA.
