It wasn’t a cheap-shot, it’s just facts and kind of a warning of what’s going on the regional world. Crazy times.
I know Spirit has much better QOL than any regional, but money for retirement is really important for me now.
You should be beating down the doors of every legacy at your age, with UA and AA being the top choices due to seniority movement. You don't have much time left, and while the regionals are making nice gains, it's likely just one big bait and switch for if/when the economy dips hard later this year or next. They will be the first ones filing chapter 11.
NK really isn't a good option for you given your age, but if you really want to be here then see what happens with the interview. The problem with waiting to see how things play out is that HR will have stacks upon stacks of applicants if we somehow get some crazy gains in the form of an LOA/TA. I personally wouldn't bet the farm on that, but then again crazier things have happened (e.g. Mesa getting industry leading pay rates...wow).
