except the ULCCs are paying just as much as any legacy (almost). I’ll happily go spend 20 years at Spirit or jetBlue. $200k ain’t keeping me, that’s for sure.

I didn't get when russ said he couldn't believe pilots are leaving for lccs. Um I can easily see why pilots are leaving for NK and B6. Especially B6. Nothing is stopping those from going there getting a type rating and some new experience then moving on to a legacy faster than flow. If they can't...well $270k for a 12 year B6 CA pay isn't too shabby.
