To me the choice is clear but I am interested in hearing any thoughts the group might have.

I have weighed very cafefully the pro's and cons of both.
Is there any deeper issues to consider that are not apparent on the surface.

To keep it unbiased I will not say which way I am leaning.
I would like to keep this professional and non-partisan.

Please just deeper insights, pro and cons, no flame baiting please

Thanks Boogie
PS no I do not have an offer but I am setting future goals
I read in ALPA magazine a few years ago that the average FedEx pilot only draws retirement for a few years and it tracked a couple decades of statistics. Consider that. Night flying really takes it's toll. To me it wasn't worth the extra money they pay. I was never a SWA fan so I never applied. Good luck landing either, it's a long shot.
