I think you already asked the question about how long to hold a line on each base. If you’re really interested in Spirit, you’ll have to go thru these treads. There’s a lot of info in here.

My opinion:

Company treats me well, I don’t feel harassed at all. Everybody seems to be pretty reasonable and helpful. I think it would take a lot of deliberate crap to get fired. You’d have to basically build a red ink resume with the chief pilot to get to that point.
Crew schedulers are respectful and fairly reasonable, although they make plenty of mistakes. A hot topic right now is rescheduling. A lot of disputes generated because scheduling is apparently bypassing our rules regarding using reserves and x/y (premium) list of volunteers. The only thing we can do right now is NCC it. I only have been rescheduled twice, but some pilots seemed to get it way more and their frustrations are valid.

I couldn’t tell you the average of daily legs systemwide, but 2 legs a day would seemed like an average. We do have few trips with 4 and 5 leg days, but usually it’s only 1 day of a 4/3 day trip.

Average line value for FLL Jan bid was set at 82hrs. You can heavily modify your schedule, so how much you fly it’s basically up to you. You could be a part timer or fly 117 limits. As a reserve though, you can’t manipulate your schedule anymore and breaking guarantee it’s unusual.
