From the "Fireside Chat with Spirit and Frontier", Barry says (paraphrasing) "Pilots only care about money and QOL. We have the money part covered. They would make the same money here as they would at Delta because we upgrade so much quicker".

Um....upgrade times used to be quicker....but not anymore. And even then you'd still make more money at DAL unless you only had 20 years left in your career. And don't mistake what he's saying there, "we have the money part covered." He's not saying they have the money to pay pilots, he's saying they're already paying pilots! "Our pilots make as much as Delta pilots". If anyone actually believes this, they deserve nothing more than what they have settled for.
