Since this is a Spirit QOL thread: Contract highlights in no particular order.

3. Pay, see the pay section of APC - new hires receive $1750 per month.

4. Min Guarantees, 72 hours per month line holder and reserve - 4.5 hrs per duty period (multi day trips) - 4 hrs per duty pd (single duty period trips) - 4.2/1 duty rig - $2.15 or so per diem

8. 100% Dead head pay

12. Hours of service: the usual - no schedules built with less than ten hours off in base, 9 actual - 9 hours out of base - a full calender day in domicile vs 24/7 anywhere - no scheduled days over 14 hrs, extendable to 16 - no scheduled duty over 11.5hrs for duty periods that include any of the time between 0100 to 0400 domicile time, extendable to a max of 12.5 hours - min of 13 days off per monthly bid period - no circadian rhythm protections, i.e. finish day one at midnight get 24 hours off and start the next day at midnight.

14. Sick leave. 4 hours per month accrual

25. Scheduling. Line bidding, No pref bid - all lines built with all day off blocks of four or more (no one on one off three on three off etc) -
month to month conflict can not be more than six days total, all else is dropped - No junior manning, [(they have to call you on your designated contact number vs jetway or ACARS junior manning you) (except 200% pay exists for being junior manned which creates huge intra pilot group conflicts)] - industry leading commuter clause (non jeopardy)

26. General. pilots don't do anything but pilot (and monitor fueling )

27. Insurance. up in the air due to Affordable Healthcare Act, but generally a great deal compared to say, JetBlue.

28. Retirement. None other than a 8% 401K match.
