Southwest.
Because over the course of an entire career in an industry filled with uncertainty (ie. risk) and companies lead by crap mgmt teams that regularly go bankrupt, I want to work for the one company that has shown a profit each year for 42 CONSECUTIVE years, has never come close to bankruptcy, and refused to furlough any of it's crews in the wake of 9/11.
Oh yeah, one more thing. It's customers are as devoted to the company as Apple customers are to Apple.
I'm 100% certain that SWA will still be here 20-30 years from now. Can you say the same about any of the others? Based on what facts?

Originally I wanted to end up at FedEx. After working for them for 7 years and the last 3 of those years in Flights Ops as well as my dad retiring from there no thanks. The pay is great but that back side of the clock flying kills your body. I was amazed at all the times I saw people and I thought man you look like that and are only that old?!?!? Tales from the crypt comes to mind. For me personally it just isn't worth killing myself at a faster pace. To each their own though. I would like to end up at JetBlue now and ride them to the end. I think there is room for potential growth, I like their product and I think they are my best shot of getting out my current airline with no PIC.

...... No simulator evaluation in an airplane you have no experience in, no written test on outdated crap that you never use, no pay for your own type rating (yes, I know it is no longer required...but it was). It is what an interview should be. Tell us about yourself and we will teach you what we want you to know if we think you would be a good fit.
Oh yeah, no psych evaluation where God help you if you sit in the wrong chair.

In other words, you want to work at airlines that have incredibly low standards and will take anyone with a pulse....if that's the case, it sounds like you want to work for the regionals.

Well apparently a lot of the PSA planes say American Eagle on them and I guess today there is no longer us airways express....it's AE.
