Talk to anyone who is/has made the jump and 9/10 say the same thing: Enjoyed my time there, flew with great people, relaxed environment, but you want to go fly widebodies/be based elsewhere/wear a cool hat.

Im not sure how many FO's you have spoke with but from just the ones in my class and fellow junior FO's nobody is leaving because of the search of widebodys. They are leaving because they DONT think this place is viable anymore. I also tend to agree in allot of ways.
To you your 3 points above, Is spirit hiring yes but not enough to fill out its order book and consequently that will stop the upgrades. Only 10 in march per flica
FO's are looking at sticking here and gambling their couple years of seniority VS something that looks more stable going forward, also less meltdowns and some other fringe things. As well keep in mind that the QOL here is based solely on new hires coming in. If that stops which it essentially has then there goes the QOL.
Before someone says that we have hired x amount of FO's, well of course it means that they stay and not leave in a month or a year otherwise they are just invalid in terms of the growth etc of NK.
