If some one coming to spirit now could expect that in 3 years, then yes it would be relevant, but I don’t think any new hire can expect that. It’s going to be a long time to upgrade and hold a line as Capt. for new hires, much longer than most airlines.
Sure, but this whole "everyone is going to be stuck doing turns for the rest of their career" narrative is getting old and is severely out of context.
Of all the things to complain about here, that one should be pretty far down the list for most.
Upgrade times? Completely different story and I'd agree it's going to be years for someone hired today.
