Ah, well thats a harder question because most pilots are generally happy where they are. That said every time I talk to my SWA squadmates I say a prayer that United called first as I very nearly ended up at SWA myself. Flying Airbus I would never go 737 in my life, I dont mind 75/78 or 777, but 737 can lick my salty taint.
There are a number of other QoL items that I much prefer here, with the only thing SWA having is perhaps more flexibility in trip trading due to every one being same equipment. But that is vastly outsized by seniority progression at EVERY other carrier as well as all the other things I eluded to. But thats my 2 cents.
