Even with the new contract Spirit will be a little bit of a pay cut coming from regional FO just because of not crediting as many hours. I frequently credit over 100 at Xjet but am told that's rare at Spirit and impossible on reserve.

At Xjet, my take home is about 69% of gross filing unmarried, including perdiem and ALL deductions.
