Anyone thinking the merger will be good for career progression at NK needs to take a good look.
Spirit is a maturing airline. It isn't the infant ULCC anymore. For how much longer was a new hire going to be a line holding Capt in much less time than that anyway?

Hopefully the JCBA and growth and Europe expansion will all be enough to keep us moving forward. JB's upgrade times as a standalone company were trending down anyway, not up. We're all just along for the ride anyway. We can't control any of this.
