I’ll keep it to the point: I’m a 24M, live in FL rent free right now, just got on-boarded by UA, based in IAH where I was born & raised. Got Delta offer recently as well. Open to settling down in ATL, FL, or TX with a long term gf whose open to any.
Overall, with state of contract talk/temper at UA v. Post-contract DAL, would a sound strategy be to hold on CJO as long as possible until UAL contract closes to compare “apples-to-apples”, or is UA contract destined to fall short of DAL contract like AA? I like the Delta brand & its product more, but UA bases (IAH/MCO) seem tempting. I must say, being from IAH, I’ve never had a DAL pilot tell me to go to United, but usually UA guys majority say DAL is the move. The pilot group at UA can sound really discouraging at the moment…
*Ideal goal is WB flying, but I’m aware you can do a both easily, and I’m most comfortable with living in TX v ATL since I’m from TX, is living in base such a massive deal breaker as ppl make it out to be?

Hope everyone is well, gracias!

Unless you live in a United base (or are going to move to one) and have to commute at DAL, go to DAL.
