I doubt the guys with their sights on only legacies have their stuff in at only one; I’d bet the farm that they’ve applied at several/all.
You guys need to be honest with the recruiters/interviewers but also with yourselves. Spirit ain’t the only job hiring.
So when you interviewed at DL, UA, AA, WN AND FDX you told them you preferred NK? Off course you should apply everywhere, and if you get an interviews you tell ALL of them they are your first choice, and you will be able to back that up with company specific reasons why. Afterwards you sort your job offers (if you are lucky enough to get one) by personal preference and take your first choice.
What you definitely never do is tell a recruiter at a job fair “here is my generic resume + cover letter, I’ve been dropping these off everywhere, you guys are all the same”, or even better “well Sandi, I’d rather get hired at Southwest, even got my 737 rating, but they haven’t called yet so that is why I’m here today”.
Be honest with yourself on your own time after you get a job.
