Default Commutable Pairings

Can anyone give a bit of insight into how commutable the pairings are (in general) at Spirit? I know it varies from base to base, but for example, what percentage of pairings have first day show times after 1200 and last day duty off times before, say, 1600? I know it's impossible to give exact numbers, just trying to get a ballpark idea. If I were fortunate enough to come onboard at Spirit, I'd be commuting from a non-hub airport in Texas. DFW base would be the ultimate goal and an easy single leg commute even with fairly early shows/late releases. But from what I gather, new hires are not getting DFW out of class, so any of the other bases would be two leg and fairly inefficient commutes. And as a follow on question, once you hold a line, is it still fairly easy to drop and pick up trips during the improvement windows in order to get a more commutable schedule? I've seen in lots of previous posts that there's a ton of flexibility in the system, but just wondering if that has changed at all with the implementation of PBS, current staffing levels, etc. Any input is greatly appreciated!
