For those that are leaving after 5,6,7 years, I'm interested in your perspectives that drove you to this decision. Fully aware of GTF issues, lagging demand, debt, inept management. What else am i missing? I'm sure giving up that much seniority is not a decision you come to lightly so curious how you think the next few months/years will play out. Furloughs on the horizon? Predict a mass exodus from Spirit soon if it hasn't already started?

I'm at Spirit myself, but one of the CFI -> Airbus low-time guys, so I have fewer options with only 510 hrs turbine. I'm considering leaving as well but to maybe Atlas to get a little Widebody international experience and maybe legacy after that if I don't like it. Could be fun. Sucks though...I really enjoy flying for Spirit for the most part.

Good luck to everyone making the leap. Not an ideal scenario for most I'm sure.
