I don't know. Spirit at the moment is not having trouble finding good qualified pilots so I doubt it is high on the priority list.
Food for thought: How many Spirit pilots are forced to pick up a lot of extra flying in their first year just to make ends meet? When all the first year guys are sitting on flica like birds of prey, it makes it more difficult for the rest of the pilots to pick up open trips and make more $$. Is it possible that raising first year pay may actually increase the average yearly compensation of first officers beyond 1st year pay?
