SWA or AA?
Team,
I have CJOs at both airlines. I will live 2hrs from a SWA base, but I will need to commute to AA with 5 flights a day for each CLT or MIA about an 80 min flight for each. Also, I’ll be military in a local reserve flying unit.
My biggest priority is flexibility. I would like to work the least amount possible as my wife makes decent money and works from home. I’m hoping to spend as much time at home helping raise my children.
I am worried about the Max issues and seniority at SWA.
AA worries me with the financials and commuting.
I’ve read every thread I could. I’m hoping for more updated opinions.
Thanks!

I think the first year favors SWA slightly, but after it’s AAL all the way. Best of luck with your decision.

I’m more curious to where the OP lives and where Delta, United, maybe even JetBlue could stack up in all this.
