Spirit or SWA

Spirit or SWA? Ha Ha....you make funny!

Quote from the training center whe you show up the first day..." Welcome the last and best airline job you will ever have."

a quote borrowed from every day 1 at any major carrier

You have obviously already made your decision. I think you are looking for reinforcement in taking the big step. I think you have gotten that so have a wonderful career.

Ditto. Something made you apply at another airline. Go with your instinct.

Except what I heard at my first day of training at Southwest..... "welcome to the only newhire pilot class in the World." (9/11 timeframe)

Well that wasn't exactly true either. FedEx hired 3 classes (49 pilots total) in October 2001.

PS: I still say go to SW!

You owe it to your wife and kids to provide stability. SWA is as stable as it gets. Go to SWA and don't look back. At least you got some Airbus stick time - but seriously, go to SWA!

Not meant as flame bait, I have my stuff in at SWA and I agree they are as stable as it gets as far as pax airlines are concerned...however UAL, TWA, DAL.........were as stable as it gets in thier day.

But UAL, TWA and DAL were never the lean/mean/efficient operators that SWA has always been.

I don't see much comparison between legacy/high cost/full service carriers and SWA.
