Show your work. If your are at the top of the list and the top of the scale living in base doing the exact trips you want to do, show me where starting over at the bottom makes your life the same or better?
Do you make up the money lost by starting over? Maybe depends on many variables but age would be the biggest.
Do you ever get your schedule back? Most likely not unless you are quite young. And if you do how many years of garbage schedule must you endure to get it back? What is the family dynamic (kids ages) while you and they suffer through your new **** schedule reality?
Remember if you want to try and recoup the money loss quicker then the schedule will take a hit for longer.
Aint nobody trying to do 3+ day trips ever again let alone 5 day trips.
Now if spirit is out of business this is all moot.
And of course if you were starting your career today yes a career at a legacy would most likely be better than one at spirit
