The biggest issue with coming back is logistics of travel and lining up leave with the interview dates or job fairs. Its tough.

Many are faced with the logistics of aligning the planets just so that you can make it home from overseas, get some rest, recharge your batteries, make it to the interview, go back home for a few days before going back half way round the world. I've found it positive to keep in contact by both phone and email with HR or the recruiter to keep them advised of your schedule. You will find that some will be very accommodating to your schedule and work with you too.

Then that makes two ex-ME3 at SWA and I'm sure there's plenty more.

I happily left QR for my current gig. I know of 1 guy who went to SWA, 1 to Spirit and 3 to UAL. And Atlas is currently taking maybe 5 more of us. FWIW while I have been jumpseating all over the place guys at UPS, FDX and HAL were encouraging me to apply, the others not so much.
