Well look at the brains on BeechedJet... I did drop days almost every month. Wasn't worth the time to commute to fly around 200 pax for the bare fare wage of 38.50. There is a saying around here. The best part of working for Spirit is not working for Spirit. Stayed home a lot first year.

One of my buddies worked his butt off and made 36k! So if that sounds appetizing to you go for it. Ill take the time with family and he got a paltry 10k and lots of overnights in our crummy hotels.

Don't forget to get your own insurance. No insurance for 3 months here. Guy in training came down with a brain tumor, SPIT WINGS fired him and he was without insurance. The pilots pitched in to help out but the company did nothing. He sadly passed away recently.
