Not insane if you want to play for the major leagues someday. Thanks to our industry wide reputation having Spirit Airlines on your resume is like having Syphilis in your medical records,... it doesn't look good and it's uncomfortable to talk about. A young aspiring pilot would be better off getting on at the regional of their choice and taking the 40k signing bonus than coming here. Has it gotten so bad that we need to persuade pilots that don't even have regional experience to come work here? Wow...
