If the new agreement comes to fruition and the new pay rates come into effect, is there really much reason to leave Spirit for one of the big 3's? Aside from widebody options and perhaps some contractual issues that I'm not aware of, it seems like Spirit offers a great QOL with comparable pay.
To put it simply, why would someone leave Spirit, or why would someone stay?
Spirit, as you know it is a dying airline… it will be absorbed into Jetblue or merged with Frontier. Either way it, and all its contract niceties as you know them, will be gone in around 5 years. Unless you live in a current JetBlue base, I’d seriously encourage going to a legacy that you can drive to work at.
