Along with the horrid location, keep in mind that this posting is in part to replace the several people they lost to DL/AA/WN this summer. That type of lateral movement is unheard of at the major level, it's completely unique to them.
How many times have you heard about a DL/AA/WN dispatcher taking a pay cut and loss in seniority to go to another major?
Lolz. One person went to Delta. One.Along with the horrid location, keep in mind that this posting is in part to replace the several people they lost to DL/AA/WN this summer. That type of lateral movement is unheard of at the major level, it's completely unique to them.

I mean, I could see it. COLA in Chicago >>>>>>> Dallas / Atlanta.
You would be on the same pay scale, but take home a butt load more cash each paycheck.
I would apply this second if I wasn’t having so much hesitation about Chicago the city.

Troll.
I'm sure if you are at a regional, the difference in pay will make up way more than the difference in COLA. If you get a 1br apt in Dallas on a regional salary, it is about half to 2/3 of your take home. I doubt this is a problem on a major salary in Chicago. Sure you could take home more at AA, but would you turn down UA if they offered for the chance to be one of a thousand applicants when AA opens again?
There are other factors. United's location is a pain in the ass to get to, parking is a (expensive) goat rodeo (unless that's changed in the last few years), and unfortunately the means of travel that makes the most sense from the suburbs to the office (train) runs on a schedule that ranges from inconvenient to impossible, depending on the shift. Why United moved their operations center from Elk Grove Township baffles me. Corporate I can understand, what with wanting the prestigious address and all, but day to day operations out of the Big Willy? Yeah, let's move the nerve center of our airline to the biggest terrorist target in the midwest. *facepalm*
Starting to think most of y’all have no clue. Willis Tower is fairly easy to get to, company paid parking is just one block over, and most have no issue with the train and it’s schedule.There are other factors.

It helps when the city of Chicago provides a huge fuel tax incentive for keeping HQ down town.There are other factors.

Were you an opera singer? I guess that didn't work out too well eh? LOLYeah, I only lived there for 35 years, working in the Loop for 10 of those, including 4 years right down the street at the Civic Opera building. Clearly I don't know what I'm talking about.
And I was set straight on the company parking issue, which is YUUUUGE. Parking on your own on your own dime down there would be a non-starter at the price they ask. As for the train, I'm assuming you're working a 9am to 5pm schedule then? I'm talking about Metra here, not the El. Most anyone who's not a masochist do or eventually will live in the suburbs.
