At Spirit, there’s more flying to go around for line holders to care. Senior folks have more opportunities to get what they want when bidding and then again in IOT.

A pilot from Base A would drop and pick up in Base B. There’s still a ton of trips in Base B and premium flying is still plentiful. Not a single Spirit pilot is complaining about our ability to pick up out of base.

I’d argue that picking up out of base only adds to QOL and scheduling flexibility. I love it.
