It is imperative that you upgrade at Spirit. It might take five or more years for you to reach the left seat. Should things take a turn during that time and you end up on the street then it is over for you. Professional first officers hold little value to the marketplace. Most likely you will be in your upper 30's or lower 40's if that were to happen. Starting over in middle age at a regional again would blow.

Starting over at any age blows. Most of my peers who were able to hold onto aviation have had the misfortune several times over the last decade; Legend, National Airlines, Vanguard, ATA, Sun Country... ect...
