So, not a true flow then. More comparable to the Endeavor deal. Pass a test...pass some type of interview...and hope to be selected.

I know some real interesting characters that work at Spirit (no offense intended) so I'm not completely sure what the purpose of the personality assessment is to be honest.

I spent 8 years flying for the regionals myself so I know what it's like.

I have to laugh when some dude at NK tries to pull the whole " oh we use to be industry leaders" line. So is Allegiant an industry leader because their first year pay was higher than Southwest until SW newest contract was passed? Get real dude!!! NK has always been a second tier airline that's the facts jack.

I don't think you can make $200k+ at the regional.

Playing two ends with opposite objectives will end badly.
