So what seems to be the secret sauce right now? I am currently at a WO AA 3+ yrs to flow. I am a west coast guy but want to move to PHX. I applied a little while back. I have a family and the older I get the harder it is to pack up for a week.

If you have flow to AA it might be worth waiting for PHX..

It's been a while since I've posted but just trying to get some helpful tips. Just recently upgraded at my current regional. I've been hearing a mix of both. PIC is very important and pic isn't worth what it use to be. Which one do you guys believe?
Reason I ask is that I've been thinking what's better, accumulating PIC time at a regional or flying bigger metal from the right seat at aay?
My QOL is great at the moment but I'm just trying to move up the latter. I was thinking of applying at aay for the LAS base since I live there. My family is there and my wife's family is there as well. I'm currently based in lax which commuting is super easy, however, if there's a chance to stop commuting, I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Just wondering on thoughts everyone might have. Like I said, my qol is good but I don't want to be a regional lifer.

What I hear is "I'm not sure why swa hasn't called so I am considering trying allegiant to see if I can move up the food chain." Maybe I'm wrong but allegiant is better than any regional. It's a good gig if you can get it especially if you live in vegas. People aren't using is as a stepping stone anymore. Stay at your regional until a legacy calls if that is your goal

Call me crazy, but I see a lot of guys here posting things that would make them super easy to identify in an interview, provided they interview in the near future (which is often the case). This is not a problem per say, unless you are divulging info that makes it seem like Allegiant is just a stepping stone for you or it's just another option (which some of the posts certainly do). To give you an idea, as you pull into the parking lot for your interview, there may be a chief pilot looking through the window towards the parking lot to see how punctual our future pilots are. It's not a stretch to think they may parooze the forums from time to time.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot before your foot is in the door.
My 2 cents.

You will probably get an interview with SWA as soon as you hit a 1000. But, then again the Luke-Kernals along with one of the highest bid avoid list for any of the swa bases awaits. And you’ll be swinging their gear for a long time. Going to one of these meet and greets probably helps.

If you want to live in Phoenix and not commute the rest of your life, only two choices; G4 or SWA. AA will be displacing 500 pilots out of the PHX base and will be shutting down the training center this year in Phoenix. Does that sound like AA has big growth plans for PHX?

Was the person you were addressing friends with Gary Kelly? I know many pilots with very competitive resumes, with flight time well in excess of 1000 121 PIC who can't get the time of day at Southwest.
