Plenty of folks can’t imagine working at Spirit or anything pax related AND plenty couldn’t ever see themselves working for any ACMI such as Atlas or even UPS/FedEx/Box Movers. Preferences vary, lifestyles are different and these priorities rule the day. Bottom Line: Doesn’t really matter where you are even if you were the “Best Pilot” in the world now walking on the streets or worse. Pandemic, Economic Downturn/Recession, Terrorism, Corporate Takeover/Bankruptcy, Merger or ones Health as the worst scenario. Everything is situation dependent/timing.

*Only you know the deep down truth if you really enjoy your choice of career and company. Many companies offer that stability (as much as this industry offers) and compensation for your expertise, etc. Every company has employees who have a list of “fix it” in their pockets, even those with the best packages overall end up demanding more - especially when leap frogged by another (Good to keep pulling each other up). Overall: It’s one thing just to work for that paycheck (we’ve all done it) and it’s another to actually enjoy the ride. Somewhere in the middle still ain’t a bad life.
