I think there is another thread out there with this same topic but with UA also thrown in the mix.
Answer - go with where you live or want to eventually live. Other than that, it’s like betting on a horse - you just never know.

A buddy in my squadron just had this dilemma, both offers within a couple of weeks from each other.
He’d have to commute to both, and he said he thought the SWA culture was more of his thing, plus he was really worried about AA as a company.
Hopefully that’s the right choice for him. Both are great for VERY different reasons.
What the heck do I know, as a kid I wanted to work for Pan Am or Braniff...

The 737 is light on creature comforts. To me, though, the pros of having one single huge fleet outweigh the cons. SWA does a lot of different types of flying, and as a mid seniority FO I fly with guys who work 25 days a month and guys that fly 12 MBJ turns a month and never sleep in a hotel.
Anyone can fly any flight. That creates a huge opportunity pool and ways to skin the cat.
I’ve done the long haul over the ocean circadian f job. My body doesn’t like it. I regret not having the opportunity to do it later if I want, but I’ll take the silver lining to that cloud.
