Go to Spirit. Chances are in two years it will be a “mainline.”
They may not be the best paid today but as Mesa has just shown past performance does not guarantee future performance. Refinance the loans, take out more if needed to eat, and live cheap…or all three. This is a short term pain for long term gain problem. Most of us did it. I slept on an air mattress sharing a room with 3 others for 2 years. You too will succeed.
