So you're coming up real quick on 2 years of 121 with regional jets. You also have a couple of years in the aviation industry before this in other capacities. You see the boom in hiring across the board for dispatchers, you start applying. You'll probably get an offer just as fast, it seems, and the class date will be in a few weeks.
Do you make your move up to a ULCC now, or do you hedge your bets and wait a little longer in your current situation until something more interesting comes your way... maybe SWA? Your long-term goal is a legacy carrier hopefully. You hear about the probability of two, maybe three more classes at a lot of these airlines but you are cautiously optimistic on your timing. And as much as the experience sounds really awesome, you've ruled out cargo outfits because you don't want to lose your non-revving for yourself and family.
You know you'll plan on being at this next move for a year and a half at least (probably), who knows how the hiring will be by then... will it dry up and leave you stranded for a little longer than you thought? At least this ULCC is in a city you know you'll enjoy being in. But the choice is yours... what will you do?
