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!

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.
