SWA or DAL?

your definition of Vibrato differs from Websters:
"a slightly tremulous effect imparted to vocal or instrumental tone for added warmth and expressiveness"
If you were thinking along the lines of "Bravado" in terms of bragging, maybe try these:
Jacitation
Braggadocio
Rhodomantade
Gasconade

Maybe not a bad situation to be in but I'm new to the airlines after flying for the Navy the last 10 years and I have been hired by SWA starting in August. The kicker is I just received an intreview invitation from DAL and I am a little perplexed. Love both companies and will be shortly living in SLC (DAL domicile) which makes DAL very attractive but love the stability of SWA. Obviously not hired by DAL yet, but to interview or not? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I think commuting = at least one more night gone per trip. If that's ok for you, then no sweat. Do you want to fly international?(none at SWA right now) How important is the better pay at SWA? Do you want to have great flexibility with your schedule? (SWA is great for that). Do you want to be flying 90% 3 on 4 off 4 on 3 off? (go with SWA) Or would you like to have the flexibility to take longer trips and have more time between? How quickly do you want to upgrade to Capt?
Just a few thoughts for what it's worth. Congrats and good luck.

Did you know that several years ago in an effort to develop the ability to predict the success of pilot candidates the Navy embarked on a mission to find out what sort of person made a good pilot. In their research project they compiled mountains of data on years of superior and substandard aviators. After processing the data trying to find the attributes of a superior pilot only one common trait among the elite could be found....... musicians. True story, i always thought that was interesting.

I also remember reading that the brain functions during BFM/ACM are similar to musical improvisation.

Here`s another true story along those lines. After WW2 the Army Air Corps did a study to try and find common traits amoung their aces. The thinking was that if these traits could be identified, then that`s the type men thay would try and recruit for flight training. After an exhaustive study, about the only thing in common was that most of the ace pilots smoked cigars.

Sweet I'm two for two! however since i wear contacts i was denied the chance to yank and bank for uncle sam. That navy study i was talking about was considered inconclusive. It was just the only results they could come up with after the study. It's not like the Navy started cruising jazz clubs looking for fighter pilots.

I'm more of a Petrucci or Steve Morse fan myself, but I run in those circles too. Still found Vibrato a strange word choice, but you've managed to pull out a save. Bet you're h3ll at scrabble!
