Doesn’t take a brain surgeon or rocket scientist to figure that dynamic out.

I came here because I thought I’d rather get stuck here than at my regional. I know it’s taboo to say that and compare it to a regional but I upgraded quickly and now I’m not leaving. If Delta or United called when I was a junior FO I probably would have left but they didn’t... I still have friends I went through new hire training with at the regionals waiting for that call making 2/3 less and working more days.

It’s respectable that they’re waiting on their dream job though...
This right here. It's almost never a question of having a choice between Spirit and a legacy like you guys are hypothesizing. It's almost always a question of coming to Spirit or staying at a regional. I feel that choice is pretty clear.
