Plus this is the hidden gem. Someone had to start at Spirit back in 92 I was flying for Airlink back then and laughed when our pilots left for them. They were Junk. The joke of the industry. Now look at them, same could be said for frontier.
I’m along for the ride on this ship. Gonna be fun
Cheers
Spirit and Frontier still have the lowest paying contracts in the 121 industry. (Aside from regional carries — even so, some regionals FIRST year pay is still higher.

Sun Country and Allegiant both pay less too. First year pay may be higher at a regional, but only because of the large bonuses. Second year pay would be way better than any regional.

Pay at the present moment is falling behind. The salary gap is closing and regionals are on Swift’s tail when it comes to our pay scale. I hope they catch up here soon. Supposedly company buy out finalizes this month and hopefully new owners make an appearance to tell us something about the future.

What if you already have a 73 type? Does this help?

Heard from someone that Swift has a flow to SWA, is that true? Never heard of this before.
