SWA vs UPS

[pacswaski]

Just doing a little opinion poll for a buddy:

If you were offered a class at SWA and one at UPS starting the same day, which would you go to?

Lucky dude eh!

"Friend" eh? Uh, ok.

I would say if you picked SWA over UPS, you have a screw loose. Heee heee

Seriously though.....it depends on what your "friend" is looking for.

I was looking for as good of a chance of job security as possible in the airline industry......#1.

I was looking to not have to deal with passengers.....#2

Not commuting would be ideal but I was willing to make that sacrifice.

Easy. If you love the 737 and you have no interest in international travel - pick SWA. If you don't mind red-eyes, you like international variety and you would enjoy flying more than one aircraft type through to your retirement, pick UPS.

Both are great, stable operators. Personally, I would pick UPS.

You really didn't want PAX to complain about your landings, right? If you don't, go to UPS. No, if I were to choose, I would pick UPS too. Do they go to LBB?


Bye Bye--General Lee

Night freight sucks. The SWA guys look like they have a riot.

 

[Propsync]

I'll take SWA in the fourth. Wait, what was the question?

Ha ha....no, I really don't give a frog's fat a$$ what those idiots think or say. They all suck.

I would go with the one that kept me from commuting..

I'd probably pick Southwest. Chicago is a great town.

What's wrong with flying on the back side of the clock for a week and then finishing up early in SDF, only to spend another half your day commuting home?


Sounds great to me, where do I sign up?

 

[QuasarZ]

tough call.. but in a great position!! I for one can't see myslef doing night frieght for that much of my career. On the other hand, they are more stable and less prone to the cycles of the industry. On the other hand, they may be the first to have un-manned aircraft. On the other hand, swa deals with people, and for some reason I would like to fly people, just grown up around the airlines and passenger flying and it appeals to me... so who knows.. glad I have so many hands.. lol
Pick one that does make you commute, if possible, both are similar in pay.. tough call

Funny how everyone thinks we only fly at night. I've been flying day trips all week long. Oh yeah, and only one or two legs to the hotel.

Making assumptions like that is the same as people that say SWA pilots fly 7 legs a day. You are clueless. I don't remember the last time I flew "on the backside of the clock". Oh yeah......and I made over $10K a month in the last few months too. It's rough. Puuuhhhhhhhlease!

Capt. Megadeath, how long have you been at UPS?

Boxes dont bitch.

But they dont show their new tits in the cockpit, and they dont have threesomes in Raleigh either.
