If you're going to Virgin/Spirit/JetBlue/Allegiant to go get a type rating to be more marketable to the majors, you've got some serious issues. Unless you maybe enjoy 121 training, along with the stress involved of type rides.
That would be ‘someone like me’.

Flying for an airline to earn money is not my main purpose: my main job is something completely different and earns me more money [more money than any major airline would EVER be able to offer me in any position in any seniority] the moment I log on to a ‘certain’ server in my pajamas.

Fair number of companies I work for are located in SFO and SEA area!

Contrary to what many of you believe, there is a certain percentage of pilots for whom working for Legacy carriers is not a goal!
