To fly the ultra long haul trips as a flying guy it’s 25+ years, to just hold the airplane I think is around 8-10.

There were two bids in the past 2 years where the 777 went extremely junior in all bases...especially SFO, IAD and ORD. We are talking about guys with 2 years at the airline. They bid at an opportune time because it has gone senior ever since. I’ve had only one person junior to me enterthe base in DC and I believe that was a base trade or hardship.

It all comes down to preference. Do you want to fly a POS RJ around for the rest of your career or do you want to fly state of the art widebody aircraft to exotic global destinations that people can only dream of visiting. I'm not even counting the nice hotels, crew meals and the ease of life on a widebody. Do guys at SWA even get crew meals? To me it seems no different than a regional other than pay. It may be a good company n all but not my cup of tea.

Please excuse all my old fart, out of touch brethren from late ‘80s reality.
SWA is great. UAL is great. Bases, equipment, and schedule are only meaningful differences. There are no tiers or prestige that exist outside of a few sad egos. Go with your heart (no pun intended) and you’ll be fine.
