Thanks guys..I think I will stay put where I'm at! i was just considering flow as AA rarely hires OTS unless you're military it seems. Nothing is ever a gaurantee as I know some good folks who did not get hired at delta/united. All I know is if im still at spirit in 7 years I may regret this if I could of been at american airlines!

You get hired as a FO then displaced to captain since the DEC program is a contract violation that our union won’t fight. You’ll be on reserve for a few years, Regardless of where you get based. So you won’t build much time over the 3 yrs you could’ve been making more money and getting close to be being a bus captain at a ULCC. Stay there, don’t take 2 steps back.
No standing vacancy = no DECs. After the latest bid, there are a few "DEC" guys who got paid the big bucks but can't hold CA because they were too junior.

If you're serious you should go to Piedmont. Their flow is the fastest according to all their recruitment stuff, and you can sit in the crew room in PHL for hours on end looking out over the Spirit aircraft on the E concourse talking to anyone who you can get to listen how you left Spirit to join them for the next half decade or two.
