But not for everyone .
I’m all for you doing you. The sad thing is as a pilot $100pp x 4 in coach is not a deal for pilots. It’s supposed to be free in first. If that was my goal Spirit wouldn’t have been my stopping point bc zeds are supposed to be contingency plans when you cannot get out on your own carrier. I had to ask myself if living in base was more important than first class international travel on school holidays. I chose living in base.
You should get hired at a legacy and watch the world open up to you. I mean that genuinely. This second rate paid to play globe trotting is trash compared to first class on your own airline.
Now where did I put those coex vacation passes again...
