Curious to get a few opinions here. Think DFW will stick around for Spirit? That’s probably the biggest plus for me when it comes to NK.
Dfw is very senior. You won’t upgrade there for a very long time. Upgrade time is now 3.5 years and growing. We have no growth after 2021 yet. Rumor is announcement later this year. Prob a dif fleet. I’d choose frontier. Way more growth. Getting on at Frontier is like getting on a Spirit 3 years ago. You’ve missed the spirit boat. I’m almost 3 years and still 100 from upgrade. I’m estimating 3.5-4 years for me. New hires have NO UPGRADE in sight until we order more. So 6+ years maybe. Yes spirit is more established. But frontier has equal/better on some fronts contract and would be your better career choice. Besides we will prob merge soon anyway
