It’s a career airline that’s the next Southwest. Ted and Bendo said so verbatim on the last town hall on Feb 9.

attrition means nothing as ATP flight schools have a solid pathway to Spirit aka the next southwest. Let the weak leave as the pipeline is full of 1500 hour ATP flight school cfi’s who will occupy the right seat of an NK 320. And in all honesty, they will leave spirit for a legacy at the first chance they get.

Hopefully there is a training contract clause with the ATP flight schools to keep them at spirit for many years to recoup the investment costs before they can leave to a legacy.
