there is a guy on here that left SWA to come here after he was there for a long time.
Malson make sure you are mentally able to take the first year pay cut from that Captains.

Where do you live? Where do you want to live?
Have you figured out how much it will cost you in the first 10 years? What's the loss of income in the first 3 years? $300K? $400K?

At some point the peak is past when it comes to quick upgrades. Figure 2% annual growth and known retirements and people might be able to come up with a decent SWAG for upgrade times for guys getting hired today.

I can see the 7 year SWA FO leaving because they'd have to commute to the opposite coast to upgrade, or the 16hr SWA CA to leave because he lives in MIA and is still on weekend reserve on MCO for SWA but what's the appeal for AA that's overpowering 9 year CA pay and schedule flexibility at Spirit?

Well given your screen name you'd get to fly a Boeing again.....
As to my 2 cents, if you can live in base, sure. If you're commuting, well then it depends on if you're commuting at Spirit. If you have to commute at both, then AA.
There may be logic in staying in you're in S Fl as well. As the first response to your post pointed out, there's other variables you're leaving out.
