Man! I am continuously impressed with how well G7 understands and leverages its place as a regional carrier to get its pilots moving on. Staff it up and clear it out. No, it's not a seven-year flow to a legacy as with AAG regionals. And no, it's not a guaranteed interview at a legacy that requires you to swear your allegnece and refuse flying your airline's routes for other code shares. Yes, for those who are excited that their dream job with a legacy is only a couple thousand PIC hours away, it does not make sense. But for those who don't want to have to depend on a legacy to decide their fate this is a great option. G7 is kind of a no brainer for new 121 pilots whose ambition is to get in and move up fast. Two years to a national carrier flying airbus? And if Spirit is not your cup of tea, you can still upgrade to CA in record time and work toward your other goals.

Spirit pilots. I recognize I do not understand all the intrecacies of your labor disputes, but looking at the numbers I can assure you the G7 pilots going your way are pilots who WANT to fly for Spirit. When contract negotiations come up, they'll be equally interested in a pilot-favorable contract.
