Dude,
Are you sure about that? You're talking about a company that has not yet emerged from Ch.11 bankruptcy. If I were you, I'd be more than just "concerned" in the event of a merger between Delta and some other large carrier. As a junior guy there, you will be cannonfodder, and could very well find yourself kicked to the curb with the merging of seniority lists. As a guy that was furloughed from Delta for 2.5 yrs, I can tell you that it's not fun.
While SWA may not be your cup of tea, there is stability there. This is a company that remained in the black when practically everyone else in the passenger airline industry was bleeding billions of dollars. This is also a company that has enthusiastic employees that love to work there...not exactly the case at Delta.
You should definitely interview at SWA, and see if you like what you see. I'd take the stability, a faster upgrade, and better pay at SWA over Mother Delta any day. Having "lived the dream" at Delta for 6 yrs, it's the smart move, in my humble opinion. Good luck with your decision.
SWA any day of the week and twice on Sunday!

He's just in love with me.
IMHO, I would go with SWA. These are my reasons:
- Due to the current round of airline bankruptcies and restructuring, it is only a matter of time before the Air Transport Association convinces the government that the industry needs to consolidate to survive. SWA is not on the radar screen yet for any acquisitions or a target of hostile/friendly takeover.
- Delta and Northwest are prime targets for a takeover/consolidation.
- Already on this board we have begun to see the first steps of a US-EU Open Skies Agreement. That means that the trans-Atlantic market is going to heat up and require US airlines to become even more efficient since international margins will coming down. SWA doesn't play in that market and will likely not be affected much by an Open Skies agreement.
- The flight attendants are much better looking.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
