I have been at United for more than 30 years. There have been times when Southwest, Fedex or UPS would have been the better call. Today and for the foreseeable future it is United or dare I say Delta. I could be 4% in MCO or 50% as a 777 or 787 Captain. The flexibility and lifestyle is infinitely better at United. I am on the 737 but will probably bid the 787 in the last few years as my swan song. I have an adult daughter in SFO who will let me sleep in her guest room. My wife can work remotely and will probably tag along to New Zealand/ Australia/Vietnam. You never know where life is going to take you but with United you'll have enticing options.
