If their incentive to give you a fair contract is strictly to keep attrition low, something to think about. If Spirit needed 250 new pilots for 2016, it'd be cheaper for them to hire 2250 pilots and lose 2000 due to attrition than to give you an industry standard contract if training capacity is a non issue, and that number grows further as the total pilot group gets bigger. This is all assuming that the average Spirit is under compensated by $50K a piece.

I doubt attrition will ever be an issue as long as they can acquire more sim time.
