I replaced that cloud with another one of commuting, bottom of seniority and qol hit. Not trying to chug the new coolaid, but have been very pleasantly surprised so far vs initial at NK. I have many friends still at Spirit, some still considering leaving, some trying to leave and some staying put. I wish nothing but the best for all of them in their own situations and hope they get to choose what works best for each on of them. Spirit could become the most profitable airline, with the best contract etc and I would be ecstatic and so happy for my buddies and never have any ill will for them. Pilots that get off on hoping for someone’s demise are true sh*tbags. For the others that think they know each unique situation on what others should do, advice/input is different than insulting one’s decision. Well said 69
It’s both sides. For every pilot who is leaving and telling people “you need to leave”, there are pilots telling those who are leaving “what!? Why are you leaving and giving up all that seniority?!”
I left and had plenty of coworkers tell
me all about the “seniority” I’m giving up, how I won’t “get the same trips” any longer, and how “the work rules are so bad at other airlines”. Trust me, it gets just as old as someone being told they are “stupid” if they don’t leave.
And of course there are plenty who WANT to leave, can’t for various reasons, and just love to hate on those who are/have.
