Pilots were generally great to deal with. Nearly 100% said to never apply and go work elsewhere. The comment specifically refers to the gate agents who were too bitter and ****ed off to do their job or even make an attempt at doing their job.

With all due respect you know better, it’s not difficult to decipher the incentives of individual statements. Why are we still discussing the past, this thread is about a new hire looking for advice to decide their future.
Not too shabby to have CJO’s to American and Southwest.

Haha that was just about every Southwest thread narrative before SWAPA published your Pilot TA.

Are any of you old enough to remember "General Lee", who claimed to be a DAL pilot on the old Flightinfo forums?
He/she/they/it trolled the SW forums like this and other trolls do here. Folks argued with that moron over exactly the same stuff that he/she/they/it are bringing up on here, for years, gloating about the many advantages of being at DAL vs. here.
In the long run, it turned out that the good General wasn't even a pilot, much less one for DAL.
I am getting a feeling of Deja Vu with LAX/DEN and a few others.

Quite an evil person imho
'Ignore' is a great thing, even better when People Stop Quoting Known Trolls.

Happy for you and your pilot group.
With that said the constant “my airline is better” arguments are lame and it needs to end. We are all just expenses on a balance sheet. If you are at any of the major airlines I believe you will have a great career and what works for one person does not mean it works for another. If you are at a regional and happy then you are doing great too.
I know you were just responding to another poster but congratulations on making a great decision for you.
Looking forward to the Airline versus Air Line versus Airlines discussions to stop.

A lot of animosity towards AA/SWA and second-hand "information" in this thread, hope OP and others with same question figured out what will work best for them and theirs'.. and from sources outside the hateful place that is APC.

I absolutley remember that screen name from that other forum, was it flightinfo or something like that? He/she/it/they would drop down into regional forums and troll relentlessly about flows from dal to the delta regionals.

If I remember correctly, it was mentioned that GL was some relative of whoever ran FI at the time. There was speculation that GL was there to keep the pot stirred and keep the hits and page useage up. As soon as whoever took the page over, GL pulled an Andy Dufrense and vanished like a fart in the wind.

I respect your opinion and sure, company may be better today. Why apply to a company I didn’t want to work for? I did apply to SWA when upgrades were ten years. I upgraded at 8.5 years and will clear $375K this year just flying my line. I live where I want and drive to work, and God willing will have that income available for the next 16 years. I’m 53% system wide, can hold captain in all but ATL and MCO, and have over 5300 pilots below me. With zero growth, I’ll retire around #850.
From my perspective, I’m in a good spot. The only greener grass I’ll be chasing is a prospective BNA bid, my car project (not a Miata) and a better exercise routine (ok starting one anyway).
We make choices with the options and info we have at that time, and we will know how we fared the day we retire.

I have no idea what this means lmao. Is that suppose to be a joke? If this some lame Delta hat joke? Tbh SWA pilots should be required to wear a hat and jacket because all the SWA pilots walking around ATL look like they just woke up from a 3 day bender. You make the profession look like we’re flying plumbers, which I’m sure is why you earned that nickname from management.
