Default F9 to Spirit Hop

Live near a huge NK base but a small F9 base. Does this sound crazy? Has anyone done this?

Do it, they have sweet new contract! Don't worry about the 4000 pilots about to be ahead of you on the seniority list. On the upside, you will have the ability to fly to Europe in few years

How much seniority at F9 would you give up?

My biggest fear would probably be that the NK/B6 merger will result in a big growth slowdown. The merger is going up be costly, time consuming and messy. Im sure they will get thru it but it could cause a slow down/ stop in hiring and upgrading.
Just a fear and a guess, I could be totally wrong but I'm not 100% convinced the merger is a slam dunk.

If you've only been at F9 a few months, you sure aren't giving up much though.....

No, don’t do it. Worse than a lateral move.

Well do you think you did?

To the OP. There’s about 100 variables in your life that we don’t know so how could we ever help with an informed decision?

Your friends should really reevaluate their decision making skills.

Im assuming the op is in SFL. So depending on where you live at least you aren’t far from MCO too. Anything is possible, but I highly doubt MIA, or any base closes again.
I’d be curious to see what happens to FL bases once the merger is complete. Could end up very senior especially on the CA side.
Either way you’ll be fine. Why not AA though? That would make more sense.

No I don’t think that. Although the regionals getting a 100% pay raise a week after I left bugged me for a while.

Eh? Some of them have multiple generations at legacies so if they came to a ULCC their family might oust them. Plus some are already at legacies and the ones who aren’t feel like they already have it in the bag cause of how easy it is to go there right now.
