No, you are correct. We have generally 4 effective dates per year, plus usually one supplemental bid/effective date.

I looked briefly at the Q1/Q2 '24 effective dates, and they weren't much different, but a little more senior. But not much. So when you consider the earlier effective dates, with slightly higher seniority, still probably about the same "time to left seat".

Just to add some color, we have 20 A220s. With ~20 coming next year, and coming heavy after that. Supposedly next base will be Florida, and they have plans for a new base in the middle of the country for the A220, if everything goes to plan. We have a lot of Midwest commuters to BOS/NY. Ask me how I know. For lots of us, the Spirit Midwest bases still don't look appealing to many of us because they are small, and often senior. Unless you live in that city of course. So just as many of our Midwest guys still view BOS as more appealing, with the info we have now, and until the dynamics change, it's reasonable to think some Spirit Midwest guys that commute might come to the same conclusion. If you're commuting anyway, a larger more junior base has its benefits. All that to say that I think you are underestimating the relevance of our 100 A220s. At $341 an hour next Aug, it will have plenty of interest from the white shirt crowd.

Which brings me to my next point. I hope we can all push for white shirts and Karbon jackets... They can keep the Blue shoulder boards if they want to "keep it Blue".
