Management treats us like a step or 2 under most regionals and laughs all the way to the bank.

Philadelphia as a city has greatly improved over the years with a huge influx of yuppies moving in for lots of cheap housing and a growing food/art scene. Vacant lots in fringe neighborhoods that sold for 5k in 2010 now go for 90k. There are multiple Fortune 500 companies and endless monied suburbs feeding the airport. Big money being thrown at the river front and spec housing in former ghettos. Actual foreign tourists too

We’re all “too big to fail”… just like Bear Stearns and Lehman brothers... The survivors of a major economic downfall would probably be the ULCC’s but that’s after they furloughed the majority of their list.

UA vs AA: DCA, LAX based
Currently in Virginia, 3-4 hour drive to DCA pending traffic. 33 years old. Down the road could consider relocating to SoCal. My understanding is AA has the seniority advantage system wide, but UA has larger footprint & flies all types at these hubs. Which airline would you pick?
