Either path will get you to United. Have a plan if United doesn’t work out. Where would you rather be stuck? Southwest where they have a good company that isn’t going anywhere or this dumpster fire that is getting worse by the quarter with no definite future.

If you’re still unsure, go compare each company’s crew rooms and see what that tells you about how their respective pilots are valued.

Bahahaha. You funny boy! Things have changed at SWA. It’s definitely NOT the luv airline anymore.

Compared to the absolute orgy of love and affection that is Frontier?

stop thinking about the company. think about you. ALL the airlines are corporate emotional-less entities, beholden to Wall Street or their hedge fund investors. Herb died long ago. We are ???? 3 or 4 CEO's post-Herb. AirTran is basically in charge of, or now has a large role in, the training department (good, bad, or indifferent) at SW. My point is, SW is not SW of yesterday.

F9 is F9. You buy Burger King you aren't expecting organic meat, GMO free fries, and cloth napkins. If you are, you will be disappointed and run to Twitter and MF your "poor service" (to a bunch of eye rolls because, like Burger King, their ALWAYS will be customers for the ULCCs).

It is what it is.

Where do YOU live? What is best for YOUR personal life? Wife? Kids? Commute? You will make 300k+ as a couple-years Captain at ANY and ALL of the majors.

My two cents

F9 upgrade is like 18 years for DEN. It’s less than 8 at WN. Not a chance in hell I’d pick F9 over WN living in DEN.

I didn’t say it was but just wanted to keep the record straight that SWA is definitely not the airline that some people still think it is.

Unless we grow DEN 😂

I agree with this 100%.

Not to mention... 18 years doing red eyes or 5 hour turns

I know you're ****ed about being acquired by SW andI understand SW isn't what it was in the past but that in no way makes it on the same level as F9.
