Spirits appears cheaper.

New hires are given 33 hrs.

The accrual rate is slightly higher at Spirit too. The conversion equates to a Spirit Pilot maxing out at 140 days v F9’s 120.

Spirit pilots can cash out unpaid sick bank at retirement. Can we do that with our new TA at F9? No.

If you go out on medical at spirit, they cover your premiums even after you run out of sick time. They pay it for 9 months. F9 does not do this. The pilot must pay the entire premium, including the company portion, as soon as his sick and vacation time is spent. Just play the “what if” game and see how it would work out for you and your family. Personally, I have ALPA and HARVEY WHATT plans. I have a fully funded emergency fund and this still scares me.
