At this point one can argue that going any airline, including another regional that is growing, is a better move than holding out hope at XJT.

Also, should your contract improve and/or a merger with F9 occur (which odds of both occurring in the next 2-5 years are better than not) and that new airline becomes the largest ULCC in the US with a contract to match, I'm sure your outlook will improve. You're in a good spot that many a XJT pilot would kill for.

If you're a XJT pilot, should Spirit offer you the job, take it...
