Have you actually seen a swa pilots schedule? Working lots of weekends is what I saw. I thought my acmi cargo FO gig was better since I at least got 2 weekends off a month. My understanding is the lines are non commutable on 1 end.
I’d talk to some people who left swa first. 300k is a lot of cash, I cant imagine your gig is that bad.
Go ahead swa guys, flame me with your typical “couldnt get hired comments”. Hired this past summer and decided to not go.

My job is very high stress. Worrying about the job going away is part of corporate flying which, is why it's good to always be making contacts and have a great resume (which I do). Getting off the bottom 10% at SWA = no more worrying but it's going to be a LONG time before I make what i make now let alone what I just got offered to stay. If were younger the choice be easily be SWA all day long. I need to sit on this a few days I think.

Airline work is WORK. Especially if you commute!

Never done corporate, so this may be worth what you pay for it but....
It sounds like you want to do SWA.
If the only real plus to the current job is money I’d say go. Nearly every major decision I’ve made that prioritized money turned out disappointing.
Big question - why did you not go back to Delta and do you regret that?
Good luck!

My fortune 225 company just let 31 people go and 3 airplanes. We flew a lot and the department was justifiable. Board members did not see it that way. Now I am at south west for security. The only complaint I have is $$$. And scheduling my off time when I want it not when seniority gives it to me. But I have security and time and it will get better. I was offered a job the same day I went to training the owner of the company was 72. Best case I saw 5years there and I would be where I am today. Wishing I came to SWA 5 or 10 ago.
