Define major. Big 3? No.
I flew with a Frontier CA, was a reserve CA in PHL, lived in SEA and commuted the whole time. Guess he got sick of it and came to AS. People will do what they need to do to improve their own life situation. For some that may mean leave AS and for others it could mean coming here. Attrition is still at a fairly low level, certainly nothing alarming. No argument will be won using the attrition threat.

Leaving a carrier outside that list is not very noteworthy.

F9 has a multitude of bases nationwide coupled with an aggressive growth strategy.
Alaska, well... doesn't.
He wouldn't be commuting to Philly forever. The chances for Eskimo remorse are higher than you think.

Good luck. Personally, if I was lower longevity the only airlines I’d leave Alaska for are the big 3. No way would I leave AS for Southwest. You may find buyers remorse there too. Leaving one 737 airline for another 737 only airline, even if it pays more, no thanks. Something like 750 planes already, the chances of SWA expanding that to 1400 in the next 5-7 years are slim. Longest upgrade times in the industry means stagnation. Big 3 or bust.
