Wobder what your friends there think of mgt now? Mine say the way the company is run has gone down hill in the last 5-7 years. Still the same product in back, but like everywhere….they’re trying to do too much with not enough puzzle pieces. My friends don’t want the merger to happen and would prefer to grow organically, but mgt is all in so you get what you get.

What’s upgrade times looking like at SouthWest nowadays ?
QUOTE=DrSmacFum;3660846]Im a JB guy, but currently southwest is probably better for LAX. If the spirit/jetblue "merger" becomes a thing, I could see LAX being vastly improved for JetBlue. Hawaii flying is in the plans as well.

I upgraded at 7.5 years—it’s coming down since then.

There is nothing magical about being a junior caption should an economic downturn occur. Hell there is nothing magical about being a junior captain even in the best of times without certain caveats being made.

It’s one thing to be “able” to upgrade, but it’s another thing all together if you “should” upgrade.

Whether or not you choose to upgrade out of your base and commute is your choice…likely you can hold your base within a few months. I would have bypassed had I commuted or couldn’t hold my base for QOL reasons. Rsv at home isn’t bad.
