I ended up pushing my avail date in airlineapps, for all the airlines who haven't called, to this summer, so I don't have to turn down a potential interview until on the property at SWA. The first day I can start is 28 March, using all terminal leave and PTDY, and have to fly to Dallas on the 29th to start class on the 30th.
Easy decision once I received my class date. I would have to slip a class, and at least 25 seniority numbers, to interview at a "back-up airline". I use quotes for back-up because I'd be honored to work at any major, I just happened to get hired by my first choice first.

Interesting background, and congrats, but curious... Wouldn't a captain on a BBJ GV or Global be a highly desirable position with an excellent salary to begin with? Assuming this isn't some gig for a ME outfit, I know a capt flying similar 91 making 225 + bonus with benefits and QOL most airlines can't touch, this making the switch to 121 a big step backwards.

Also, I was employed at jobs that I thought would be retirement jobs only to have them yanked out from under me due to divorce, buyout, or lagging economy. So you may know someone in a good job today that can easily go away tomorrow. Also, there is no such thing as a seniority list or union protection. I've seen many times companies lay off out of seniority. So I think in the long run an airline career would be better. Especially in the current hiring situation. At least that is what I'm betting on!
So congrats Ricky Bobby, a huge step up. I'm sure you will have a great career and enjoy the freedom of having real days off!
