If daytime flying and passengers are important fly SWA.
It really is what works best for you. Also, consider where you live and if the commute plays a role.

Let me put it this way, I have never met a SWA pilot that didn't have nothing but good things to say about working there.
Here at UPS, I rarely hear anyone say anything good about the company or the way they treat their employees.
Your choice!!

True, but you don't have to deal with passengers. That's about 90% of what makes flying cargo more appealing.......oh yeah and the fact that UPS pays cash for everything (that gives me a warm and fuzzy too).

My 2 cents worth.....
I believe UPS will be around for a very, very long time.
At some point SWA is going to start paying the same price for gas as all the others....they can't hedge forever. They will be renewing their contracts in the next few years, pilots, attendants and mechs all coming due soon.
The passenger industry is one of the few industries where they are selling their product for less than it cost to produce. UPS and FDX don't do this.
