Left? It's just starting.
Not sure what you're talking about. No First Officer called me to go fly, and we don't have a junior manning requirement at Spirit.
You're telling me at the legacies in two years I can be line bidding in the upper 1/4th of Fort Lauderdale, not having to sit reserve, flying A320s, 1-2 legs a day, working in the training department? I can apply to be a Chief Pilot, look forward to being a Captain after being on property for 2.5 years and enjoy my mandatory four days off between pairings?
Tell me which legacy offers this so I can apply! I've said it time and time again money is NOT everything. I enjoy where and when I fly, with who I fly with and what I'm flying.
Why would I want to change that? All for an extra $20/hour to commute to a base in a city you couldn't pay me enough to live in on one of my days off, to sit reserve in a crash pad or fly a trip in an old or cramped aircraft, on a line I received via PBS?
Our contract is amendable in a month, I make a really good living now and enjoy my QOL. Why give that up for a few more bucks?
