It's a combination of, increasing the block time, new contract, and most important, this:

"Spirit has turned to the Disney Institute, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, to help change its reputation and better train its employees for success."

And yet.........

Best airlines to be a pilot for:
1. Delta
2. United
3. American
4. Southwest
5. Alaska
6. JetBlue
7. Spirit
8. Frontier

Meaning?........

As pilots, who gives a ****

And again Hawaiian doesn’t make the list....

Spirit is fine. The problem is people book them expecting the same service as Delta/AA/UAL and then get angry when they get what they paid for.

We took them to Florida a couple months back because the tickets were cheap. Perfectly fine experience, except no gate upon arrival and I’ve had that happen on other big carriers a lot.

Well, my list looks different, but I get your point.

Fixed that for ya, but yup.

I care. A lot. I'm sure at one time Braniff, Eastern, TWA, or Pan Am were better places to work than NW, DL, US, US, AA, etc. I want my carrier to keep making money and for my checks to keep cashing.

Maybe best financially but it will cost you a bit on the longevity side...

Long term quality product might impact growth (or shrinkage). Probably worth a few seniority numbers.

I dunno. Don’t know if I can do FedEx or UPS backside flying. It’s not for everyone. But they are great companies and I have many friends at both of them.
