Pick Delta unless you live or want to live in a Southwest base. The upgrade time matters not just for money but for QOL. Reserve at a legacy in the fall is a paid vacation. I am a senior line holder but always bid reserve in the fall. I'm sitting on on my boat now taking a break from a busy but lucrative summer. Actually I would say go to American if you can. They have a substandard contract now but that will change. The movement there is going to be eye watering...

It is a completely different job living in base.

As someone who had multiple offers 2 years ago, and analyzed everything I could at the time....having lived it for 2 years, the only thing that matters is exactly this above. Seriously, this is the only advice you really need to listen to.

Before you take advice here, speak with your family, spouse, parent, etc. At the end of the day, it will come down to what matters most in this case: where do YOU want to be?

Congratulations.
