Seems to be a lot of us in the same boat with the "Fix it" email.

Are you saying you were hired at all three of those?

Yes, I have been very fortunate and have had time to "shop around" before my AD separation date. Planning on making my final decision soon, I'm open for any advice.

Wow. Congrats!
I hope you know how fortunate you are. Some of us have been "shopping around" for a decade or more. Bait, cast, repeat.
If it were me... UA, SW, AA. In that order.

Depends on your age, where in the country you live, and what you want to do for the next 20+ years.

Do yourself and your family a favor and do not commute. That should be a very heavily weighed factor when deciding which job to accept. Good luck with your second career.

I plan to live in the LA area, I would also like the option to fly long haul at some point in my career. It is because of these reasons I like what AA and UA have to offer. Also, I feel like AA has the most seniority movement. Of course they are all great Airlines however, that is assessment at the moment. Again, advice/ mentorship is welcome.

Magic,

Congrats to you sir and thanks for your service.

It's seems like most of the international growth at AA is coming out of LAX. If you're looking to stay domestic, you'll have opportunities there as well.

As the deadline for recallees comes to a close soon, more and more new hires will start filling in junior to you.

It's really between AA or UAL..Magic, if you want to fly international and be west coast based, then no better option than UAL..AA is not that big on the west coast. Limited international flying out of LAX on AA..UAL has tons of international flying out of SFO..I may be wrong but both are good airlines..I wouldn't even consider SWA, they are like another Jetblue..Not bad, just not as good as AA or UAL...

If you must be in LA then AA is a no brainer because commuting cannot be fun..
