If the argument is that you’ll make more money faster at Spirit because of a faster upgrade it’s a bit misguided. Upgrade times are all speculation for any new hire. At a legacy they are somewhat solid because of retirements.
No offense to you or the OP but that assumes you can even interview and get hired at a legacy. AA isn't taking anything that isn't .mil or a flow through. Delta isn't taking too many that stand to P or aren't Skywest, trans, confused, or identifying as XXX. And only god himself knows how anyone passes the United Hogan.
Good on you if you can navigate those waters while us mere mortals fly the wing. And I mean that; good luck.
