If he lives in a hub stick with that airline as his first choice.
But turn down AA and commute from an AA base to fly for DL? Every time he got out of his car he'd be at work...instead he'd still have to commute. Limits of sorts of options. You're not giving the guy good advice.

Parker and Kirby aren't building anything here, just reconstituting the past and in the long run, as it stands now I think that will be a poor investment.

I second that. If you're going to commute regardless, then stay at DL. I'm staying here at AA because I intend on living in DFW, which is unlikely to close anytime soon.

The tools that we need to succeed in both good and bad times don't exist just like in the past. Kirby laughingly said in his letter they plan to change the culture here for the better over time, but that is obviously now absurd. They clearly don't get it and almost certainly never will.

That's what I was saying to him. If he's a DL poolie, they have a better contract and a better management team. I wouldn't abandon that unless they had a specific reason to be at AA. It's about costs and benefits and weighing the risks. It's possible that one day AA could surpass DL, but it won't be anytime soon.

UA has a history of under performing, for decades. Yes, good news that CO mgt took over. So far no change from previous UA history. I wouldn't place bets on them until they actually start out performing their peers.

Thanks all for the advice. I currently live in PHX and have been contemplating moving back to TX within 5 years, so AA would be purely a domicile decision for me. Additionally, until I start at DAL and have an employee and line number, I'm not turning down anything!

We also have a history of under performing. The question us, who will be the worst ? We know for sure we won't be the best !

DFW, MIA, LAX, CLT and PHL/LGA will probably be around for some time.
