First airline was Frontier (the Original Frontier which perhaps some people never heard about)
Was absolutely top notch and second to only Delta back then.
Squezed out by corporate sheningans into a total shutdown, with nothing left.
Couple of Furloughs as many of us had in the day also.

Complete start over several months later at Continental, which was slowly recovering from it's second bankruptcy.
Pay check here was about 1/3 of my old pay and minimal benefits.
Not a fun place back then.

Last was UPS.
Got 25 years out of this one and a real pension.
Yes, I am old.
72 years now and loving my life as a retired pilot with good success in my career.

One secret I'll share with the group here, is don't go after people that are just asking questions!

I hope people at Spirit can have a recovery like I was lucky enough to pull off.

And to "CincoDeMayo", here's this:
Phrases like "Flies as a Captain", "Is a Captain", "holds Captain senority", and probably a 100 other ways of stating something this, shouldn't really trigger a response.
Sorry the wording isn't perfect by your standards, but the point is still made.

A good friend was in charge of some of the pilot hiring at a very major airline.
One place several of you candidates, assuming you no longer have a job at your carrier or maybe you are brand new to 121 flying, would get tripped up at is the part where they ask you to show them your activities on social media like here.
They typically prefer people that go with the flow, not ones that stir things up.

Perhaps you might want to reconsider your ststements.

Anyway as said before, good luck everyone.
