I agree. If I were an RJ captain I'd think long and hard about halving my salary to come to Spirit. If the Big 3 are your objective, there are several far more constructive ways to make yourself a more attractive candidate than simply becoming an Airbus FO at Spirit:
- Become a Line Check Airman
- Become an Instructor Pilot
- Accept a union/company safety position
- Remain active in both OBAP/WAI
But if Spirit is your dream, than by all means...
