Spirit ranked #6 while AA is at #7

We are not riding high now, we’ve been doing that for the past 8 years. I rather be in the left seat in a yellow bus than left seat of an RJ, but that’s just me incase something bad happens. If you don’t want to touch our contract because our 4-5 year CA are getting $250K+ 401K DC that’s fine. 22 NH came from Envoy last year, I’m curious what they have to say.
Yeah pretty much this. Spirit has better numbers and is setup financially much better than AA. Sure if you can put in a full 30 years at AA you are better off financially but much short of that, I bet you can make more at the ULCC.
Anyway, this isnt meant to be a Spirit sales pitch but rather an illustration that the flow and AA are not the only options people have. Each should make the choice for what is best for them. I have an app in and I am scheduled to flow soon, so let that sink in.
