Wow! What a rant Orbit! Are you a new hire?! May not be the best airline in the world, but hey... I'm a 6 year captain here, got 19 days off this month (yeap, got a transition conflict that worked good for me), 59 block hours, 88 credit hours. Can pick up OT if I feel like it. 4-days off in a row, minimum. Flying PIC on many brand new A320's, with fun crews and very competent F/O's. Moving up on the list every month. Paycheck never bounced, 401K and checking account is getting bigger. Yes, we don't have KCM. Is it at the top of my priority list? Nope! Am I drinking the kool-aid? Absolutely not. There are many issues that must be improved and dealt with (i.e. premium pay, schedules, union politics and communication, etc.) However, if you hate it all as you imply, hey...go fly for jetBlue! You've got a A320 type-rating (oh, yeah...Spirit gave you that during initial F/O training, right?)
Peace!
