But let me say this to you again, but differently: If someone has a CJO from Spirit and Delta, which would you tell them to choose? Better yet, had this person been you, where would you go knowing what you know now?
For me Spirit 100%, for them, see below. There is more to a choice than name alone.
I try to always tell people that their choice for a “lifer” career is way too personal for anyone to give the perfect answer. Ask questions about business models, financials, respected opinions on the state of the airlines etc and then take that with the other factors like qol, contract, seniority advancement to come up with the best answer for you.
There are things about Spirit that are so good for my situation that I would pass up offers from other majors. Does that mean they are the right fit for someone else, hell no.
Lets not make this a “my street is better than your street” argument, it is far to complicated for such a simplistic approach.
