Two other things to keep in mind:

1) Spirit/jetBlue merger: Would you also be okay working at jetBlue down the line? There's a chance the DTW base goes away after the merger. Would you have a reliable base as a feasible backup?

2) Seniority: I don't think Spirit will have too much movement unless captains leave for legacies. At Delta, you will almost certainly be bottom 50% for a good 20 years as things stand now. AA and UA have better outlooks in that regard.
