A guy with 300 TT is gonna vote yes for a crappy contract, be intimidated, and want to hang around because he's got so much invested in the company. Someone with TPIC, a few types, and Airbus time is major material and will bail at the first opportunity.

Something about Spirit doesn't sit right with me. They could be losing hundreds of millions a year, we wouldn't know about it. That being said, if I had 300 hours TT and had to chose between a regional and Spirit, I know where I'd chose (Spirit). But for those with at least some experience, I wouldn't go there. Just my $0.02.
