At DAL you'll start and end trips there in a NetJets tail a fair amount, no hassle with an airline. When you do airline it's frequently going to be ground trans from DAL to DFW unless SWA has a good route to where you're going.

Number 1 advantage to basing at DAL: You'll make "A List" on SWA fairly quickly which means you board no worse than about #60 which means NO MIDDLE SEATS. EVER.
I get middle seats half the time on AA and Delta and I'm Gold on both. Our flights are booked so late that nothing is left but middles on everybody but SWA. When you're 6-4, 215, it makes a yuuuge difference.

I’ve grown to appreciate LUV a whole lot more since reaching A List. Doesn’t matter if the company booked it 10 days or 10 minutes prior to departure. Never worry about overhead bag space or a middle seat, and the crews actually extend professional courtesy to visiting crewmembers. Rarely the case on the other Big 3.

Thanks for all the great info in this thread!
Am I understanding right that you could be on the CC72 for up to 7 months after IOE? So, for example, if you finish IOE in November after bidding for the February period has closed (since I read bidding is 3 months before the next period), you could end up having to wait until March to bid for the June period, and fly the CC72 November through May?
Also, I saw you can ask for the 7/7 once you're done with IOE; could you also ask for the CC60, or only the 7/7? I understand it's unlikely you'll get it now, just curious what's even possible.
Thank you again!
