not looking to leave asap. But spirit isn’t some god tier qol oasis and shouldn’t be look at as some miracle career destination. Like you said it’s a job. For the most part it’s ok and for those that really enjoy working as little as possible including earning the bare minimum sure this can be a good home. But it’s no secret that (yes other airlines experience problems) while working the job is made harder by managements incompetence and inability to run an efficient operation. I’m not talking about the maintenance delays or weather delays. I’m talking about arriving on time and having to wait an hour for a gate or poor planning by our own dispatchers. Payroll that charges you for overpaying you when they really didn’t so you have to audit every paycheck yourself to make sure you’re getting paid correctly. Filing multiple grievances a month because the company can’t even follow and obey the contract they agreed to.

flying the plane is easy. Showing up having a good time with the crew and person sitting next to you is easy and it’s the same job and same everywhere else. It’s all the extraneous BS we deal with that makes the job more of a pain.

just pointing out that qol outside work is pretty decent here. But it can also be pretty good at other airlines especially once you get some seniority. But people aren’t leaving here to chase better qol. It’s money and better work quality. If you’re already a commuter and/or live outside florida there’s definitely better qol of life if you live in another airlines base. Spirit really only has real superior qol for those that live in south or central florida.
