I’d imagine it’s a popular commuter city, whoever you fly for. not sure what commute life is like at Spirit or what the future of commute life is there for you (seniority). Even if you just fly your line, let’s say three 4days here. That 12 turns into 15 pretty easily. 3 days a month for 20 years is nearly 2 years of your life.
This is a good point, thank you for the advice.

Don't come to SWA. Are you kidding?

Apply to FedEd and UPS. Go there if hired.

I thought spirit would have to double in size for a person hired today to upgrade. I know you're a yr in but how does that equate 3 yrs for upgrade v much longer to double?
apply to FedEx ups and go there

Get out your fortune telling hat and determine if SWA will open a domicile/base in BNA…

Unfortunately I don't meet their turbine PIC requirements. Thank you for the advice though.

Even if they did how long would it take to hold BNA as a base? I seriously dont know. I think on the FA side someone would have to be here for 16 yrs to hold BNA if it opened.

Keep updating your FedEx app too!

I don't meet their turbine PIC time requirement or else I would be! From what I understand, it's a hard requirement for them.
