Keeps his sick bank, vacation, and better traveling benefits.. Question is, why do YOU think Spirit is a better choice? Spirit offers him DFW and an Airbus type (which only Asia might care about).
As far as hating Spirit.. my best friend is a Captain at Spirit. I wouldn't say he hates Spirit but he doesn't like it. Can't wait for the phone to ring (AA, Delta, UA, FedEx or UPS).
Am I not understanding something about these 2 companies pay scales? It seems to me that with the bonus at envoy, you would make the equivalent of $57/hour vs $38 at spirit but second year you would make $40 at envoy and $72 at spirit. $57 + $40 at envoy ($97) vs $38 + $72 at spirit ($110). Wouldn't you be making more at spirit by the end of the second year?
