Life would be good. Worst case, you’ll be on reserve, which is easy living in base. It’s also lucrative due to the rules regarding changes to your schedule. If it changes, it pays 50% more. And it will change. Usage varies, but generally less than half the days. Days off is a minimum of 16 (15 in a 30-day month, 14 in a 28-day month). I’ll let someone wiser advise you on time to get into MDW. I have no clue.
I’d run from Spirit. Even if we ignore the bankruptcies etc., what kind of buffoon dresses their flight attendants like a wasp? 🥸
