(Or worse won't want to interview me at all) How important is company loyalty? Thoughts?
Spirit has good to great work rules and pay. Do yourself a favor and try to get on with Spirit. You might love working there plus the pilot work group is strong and they dont roll over. Their contract is one to be envious of. Its not perfect but nothing is.
I think it would be smart to head over to SPIRIT, you will notice a different "feel" and different more enjoyable flying. You might not want to come to Delta after. Otherwise, the Regional world is not a good place to be. Dont put all your eggs in the DELTA basket either. UAL/AA/FDX/SWA are all in a good place to reign.
