Spirit will be a great fit for me. Not commuting is huge as is a non double breasted jacket hat wearing culture. Works for some, not for me.
I still have buddies like what you talked about at the regionals. They’re still waiting on the call from their preferred legacy, I took the first place that called, Spirit, and I’ve already upgraded while they are still waiting and waiting... All while they’re flying around making $90 an hour. I’m not a genius or anything and everyone has to do what’s best for them and their families but I think you need to have a pretty solid reason to keep waiting for that one call and leaving years of would be seniority behind you just for the hope that one day your favorite airline calls. The difference between being on the front of a hiring wave and the back end can be a huge loss of QOL in the latter years of your career.
