I’ve asked myself the same question a lot recently… I’m generally happy at my ULCC (been here about 4 years, great people to work with), but it’s an east coast airline with a small west coast footprint (pretty obvious where I work). There has been talk of west coast growth since I’ve been here, but nothing has developed. The west coast schedules are redeye-laden and the upgrade time in my base is currently sitting at roughly 14 years (give or take) and even senior CAs can’t escape the back side of the clock flying. I have no interest in commuting across the country for upgrade should that ever present itself, and I’d like to see some day time that isn’t flying into the rising sun for 4+ hours. If United doesn’t call, I feel fortunate to have a job with which I’m relatively satisfied, but the variety, the options, and the potential for a west coast upgrade make it appealing to me. On the other hand, Recent events further highlight the vulnerabilities of the industry and make the benefits of staying put quite apparent. I suppose it’s a decision to make should United give me a call.
