Thanks for the work, I will look at my company and send an update with numbers if needed.
Thank you - and you're welcome! You are correct wrt career perspective. However, as a workaround (for example) you can scroll down below the charts, look at total earnings for Southwest, upgrade at 12 years, write down the number, and then look at Spirit, upgrade at 3 years and compare. Southwest still makes $200K more LOL! But unfortunately doesn't factor A,B funds and other benefits.
It's not all encompassing, but it's sometimes helpful to see stuff side by side. Another disclaimer - these sheets don't seem to cooperate well with mobile devices but do ok on desktops.
