Stay at my regional or come here?
Im 38, making comfortable 4 year CA pay at my regional ($155/hr) and about to hold a line at ORD. I drive to work from the MKE area (about 1:15). My schedule is a little tough, but I don’t hate my life.
I just got a class date at SWA with likely a MDW base, and am honestly on the fence. Commuting to MDW is like an hour longer drive or more for me, and pay at SWA won’t catch up to mine now for at least 2-3 years. Seniority where I’m at now is cruising with all the attrition, and the pay gets more comfortable and QOL does get better with patience.
I know lots of people are going to say go to SWA, but there are some very real pros/cons. What would you do APC forums? Stay or go?

My 2 cents: you’re relatively happy now. Unless there’s some reason that UA wouldn’t hire you sometime soon, save yourself the grief: stay at your regional and actively work getting hired at UA ASAP. If you’re willing to move to a DL base if you got hired there, then work that angle too.
