I don’t think I’m your buddy but that description fits me perfectly. The seniority picture being what it is, I think it’s too late to start over somewhere else, but I do regret not pursuing Delta or even FedEx after I was hired here.

If I had done that, I'd still be at AAL. Their nterview was ridiculously more welcoming than DALs interview. However, neither interview accurately reflected my experiences with each company. My decision to come to DAL was almost exclusively based on the fact that I could sit short call from my house. I'm even more thankful now that I'm on a WB, as it gives me a ridiculous amount of extra days at home when I bid reserve.

And no, it's not just that "a job is a job." I've worked jobs where I absolutely hated going to work and ones where I enjoyed being at work. That is a tremendous difference in quality of life just based on how you feel. And that's not even touching on employee relations.
You do sound like you would be right at home in AA management though.

I’m curious where the big 3 will be in 10 years. Culture and contracts can change fairly quickly. UAL seems to have had a big culture change in the past few years. Hope AA can do the same. Forecasting a 20,30 even 40 year career with today’s information is a long shot. Like others have said... you’re in a great position.
