Agreed. Product does not equal career expectations nor does it equate to a successful company and lucrative career. If that were the case, thousands of Southwest pilots with their cattle car 737s made the wrong choice for several decades, but they did NOT make the wrong choice. They prospered, prevailed, and out-earned many of their legacy airline counterparts. It’s a crapshoot. Seniority is king everywhere.

The seniority gods do not lie

As someone who worked at 2 out of these 3 (not at green) the answer is spirit.

Why Spirit over JB? Care to elaborate

why would you leave spirit for Jetblue? Doesn’t make sense.

makes sense if you worked at JetBlue in the last 10 years. Qol is much better at spirit. Pay seems to be better at blue. I know nothing of spirits management but I know our COO is way out of her league and because of her any executive with talent/passion for aviation has bailed

Well todays news made things a bit more interesting to say the least. Lots of variables to consider now.

Apply to any place you seriously want to work at and keep the apps updated and keep networking. Then take the one who calls first. You can always jump ship later if you want.

If you can live in base QOL will be great

If you can only 1 leg commute it and have several options a day to that base QOL is Good.

If you have to 2 leg it or have few options, you will hate your life.

Well this was before the merger news but, spirit has much greater schedule flexibility and thus QOL. You could drop every trip on your schedule and rebuild back whatever trips you want from open time even on the weekends. Would not happen at JetBlue currently.

JetBlue vs ULCC?
 

True it is very hard to move stuff on your schedule at JB. Often below minimum coverage.
