If the legacies and LCC's all started hiring.
Say most of the Legacies, and LCC's (JB/SWA-AT) starting ramping up hiring in 2012 and beyond.....
What's your opinion of where most would try to go? Would anyone consider leaving a LCC for a Legacy? How would the Legacies hiring open up opportunities for those wishing to go to an LCC.
If ya can't tell, I want to end up at SWA when this economy/retirement stuff irons itself out. But also know that the competition will be very stiff. Unless their are many more options for those with thousands of RJ PIC time vs. my mostly Regional FO/corporate background...
I remember back in 1999-2001, it seemed much easier to get on with SWA. (I know, I know.....different time, different labor contract etc). For my own personal gains I'm hoping that most will be dreaming of that Delta, United, Continental brass ring..and leave alot of potential spots for SWA..
I hope I don't start a mud slinging debate about Legacy vs. SWA..Different strokes for different folks. I just know I'd prefer SWA over anything else.
