As posted a few pages ago in this thread, the attrition and hiring numbers YTD are extremely similar for Alaska, jetBlue, and Spirit. Why would a newhire stay at these 3 carriers when they can go to the big 3 legacies for much faster movement, more retirements, widebody planes, and multiple bases throughout the entire nation (one in each time zone)?

Notice I purposefully said nothing about pilot contracts. A pilot contract won't fix the structural issues described in the question posed above.
