Yeah it's all about the age. If you're a young guy that has time and will retire a 777/787 CA making over $30k/month, then you'll beat Spirit. But if you're older and won't see anything heavier than the 737 or bus, then an extra few years at Spirit might be financially viable. Especially with this AIP at Spirit bring a 401k DC to the table.

Besides, would you rather tell your neighbors your work for Spirit or American Airlines.

Meh. These rates might look good on paper but you have to remember that working for Spirit is about like working for Mesa. Abhorrent QOL, non existent work rules and having that stain on your resume will likely doom your chances for getting hired at a legacy.

Poor effort, lousy creativity.

Seems that the only thing you are good for on these forums is banging your flow drum and attempting to distract from all of the negatives happening at Envoy. Your biggest sell for Envoy is the fact that you have a guaranteed opportunity to leave Envoy. Pay no attention to the QOL issues, poor schedules, forced displacements, lagging compensation, lagging vacation accrual, etc. Flow, flow, flow!

Not sure Spirit is a stain and in fact received a lot of strong support these last few months. In addition, due to the shortage and retirements coming, majors won’t be able to be so choosy as to ignore someone due to the company they flew the 319 for.

This!!!!! I agree. Not many at AA will see widebody flying due to age, or will many care to fly international Wide body as an FO or as a Captain. Wishful thinking, not for everyone, those pay rates will not be available to everyone.
Btw, GoJet hiring will increase due to Spirits new Contract IMHO. Wait and see.
GoJet’s “flow” is looking more attractive right now. Take and look at it, you might all see the bigger picture. It’s no where close to 7-9 years to move up to Sprit neither, much much sooner. 2-4yrs. Also, those transferring years of 121 Service over for higher locked in pay rates is looks pretty attractive also. Much better Reserve rules, and soft pay. Some Truths for potential NH’s to consider before coming to ENY, lots of options to evaluate in this environment. Especially those not wanting to be forced to upgrade, and forced to commute to NYC, or be at the bottom of the CA reserve list for 1+ yrs under our current reserve rules, and contract manipulations. Come to ENY if you want but look deeply at what others are offering, and take a look at the contracts, work rules, soft pay and overall pay rates (not bonus).
Yesterday’s POS “worst” regional can be today’s best regional for pilots. Mainline hiring does not care who you flew for these days and the years to come. So many MESA & GoJet folks at mainline. Network and fly safe, mainline will be hiring a ton off the street, don’t count on flow. Serious truth is WO flow may not even exist in 1-3yrs once PP pilot Group and DOs groups flow in 1-2yrs. Crap happens in this industry. Facts. The best can become the worst ask any Eagle pilot 3yrs ago.

Not true. I know numerous pilots over there and never tell me they have horrible QOL. Non existent work rules??? Haha. You do realize you just quoted an improvement to their CONTRACT? Oh I get it, so if Spirit doesn’t have work rules, we don’t either. Go back under your rock.
