right? seems logical. Or just don't bother with upgrade on Fifi.

Nonsense! For crying out loud……take the damn upgrade so it’s on your resume. That’ll be a big selling point to any of the legacies or UPS/FedEx if that’s his ultimate goal.

Delaying your SWA class so you can upgrade is a great idea if you feel like you shouldn’t turn SWA down but still want to move on from there.

Simple. Upgrade on the Bus and get your butt over to UAL, DLA, AA, UPS or FedEx. You’re not missing much at SWA. There’s some great things here but if I was looking at moving on from Allegiant I sure as hell wouldn’t be pursuing SWA.

Also, Cptn time on the A320 is extremely valuable on the world stage. Remember 10 years ago? It was the most valuable type to have for the contract jobs.

Exactly. So that’s two SWA pilots telling you not to come here if you have options.

Neither if I was looking to start over. FedEx, UPS, UAL, DAL, AA in that order.

You don’t want to do the up & down bologna in a cramped and loud cockpit for 37 years. Smart move. Good luck on the upgrade.
