Same as others are saying. With your experience, I would push hard for Spirit or SWA in DFW (first). Obviously you probably already know that. I would think you could get into Spirit if you did some job fairs. Me and another CA friend of mine went to the job fair and both got an interview invite, but we talked ourselves out of it due to the flow being so close for us and it was not what we wanted long term. If I didn't have the flow I would have definitely gone to Spirit in a heartbeat though if offered the job.

I think the upgrade/flow numbers are getting to be more realistic for someone hired today. When those numbers were introduced a year ago, it was pre-mature and not realistic yet. You can look up my post history and see the numbers posted of why I think so, based on how many we have to get through, and our hiring gaps, we have years with basically nobody hired which will jump the timeframe up when they are hit. 2001-2004 gap, 2012-2014, very little hiring. I have also posted the flow charts and numbers we have actually sent to AA if you want to look those up. Nothing is 100% guaranteed in this industry, as you know, but the flow has been moving 30/guys a month consistently now (877 guys have flowed since it started up again, despite all the doubters arguing against it on here), and the flow will pick up to full speed again after AA is done with their recalls after the Summer.

Is Xjet leaving DFW? I know they moved you guys over to the other side, but didn't know if you were leaving the base completely.
