Yeah, fair point.
I will say for someone looking to start right now at F9, NK, or SW, I think SW would be better. Keep in mind SW holds a record... 45+ years flying and 0 pilot furloughs. Not after 9/11, not after the 2008-2010 recession. Stability is worth it's weight in gold and SW definitely seems to have done something right. I know we can't predict aviation, but still based on past performance I see SW around long term. Sometimes you just cant put a price on stability.

Oh yeah that explains why here at F9 we have a line out the door of SWA applicants just clamoring to get out of those tight flight decks, superior schedules, and more than double compensation/bennies. They're shouting, "We're going to be captains so fast at the ULCCs! It's gonna be so awesome, bro!"
Why just the other day as I was waiting 45 minutes for an airport area hotel shuttle a SWA guy came up and asked how we managed to always get to stay in 30 year old places with free breakfast. I told him, "Well sir, it's easy to grin when your ship comes in and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." A tear of sheer admiration came to his eye as he sunk his head low and got into his already waiting transportation service to a city center 5 star hotel.

There's no difference between you and me other than I found F9 to be lacking in things that are important to me. Additionally, I've never applied at SWA either. I was using it as an example because it was already a topic of discussion in the thread.

IPO getting closer
Frontier Airlines planning IPO, report says - Philadelphia Business Journal
Here's some more news about the IPO. Anyone have any insight how long an IPO takes from when they hire these banks?
July / August ?
