You can make more at an AA WO if you’re only going to be there a few years.
Obviously, there is no way to know how long you’ll be anywhere or which will work out best until you can look at it in hindsight. With bonus and CA pay, a calculator shows that it takes a few years before reaching a break even point for me to go to Spirit vs some of the regionals. Clearly, there is a decent reason for some people to consider it.
