They're all the same. Bunch of weirdos, bunch of cool people, bunch of hardcore MIL guys, bunch of former regional dudes and dudettes.

Without even arguing DAL or AA…
Six months is huge. Go to DAL.
A LOT can happen in 6 months:
Downturn, bankruptcy, pauses in hiring due to training bottlenecks, more Boeing technical issues with deliveries or groundings, shenanigans from ENY or AAG regarding “interpretations” of the flow language, ENY divestiture, WO merger, temporary loss of medical, or a million other things.
None of those are likely, but none are impossible either. Take the bird in the hand.

American is in for a rough few years at best. They’re poised to lose a ton of market share as their regional feed rapidly collapses (regionals make up roughly 40% of their daily departures in their most profitable hubs) and they have no plan to mitigate that shrinking. United and Delta have both enacted/articulated plans to mitigate this threat to their revenue. American’s business model seems confused, it’s leadership adrift in an endless sea of complex problems, and it is the least profitable of any of the legacies during good times. It will continue to bleed cash and likely face a restructuring at some point.

This 100%. Ask the guys who started class the week of September 11th, 2001. Leave and don’t look back. We work in a volatile industry during what has been one of the most historically volatile times in our recent history. Leave and don’t look back.
