It is relative just like so many things in life. Spirt is a huge step up from where I am now. And before you ask. Yes. It's that bad.

I just wish spirit would get a contract together and raise pay to be more aligned with industry standard. I'd love to take the next step but I can't provide for my family on $35K first year.

Would be cool if the union put on the emails who was leaving and where they went. Kinda like they used to do with new hires coming on board and where they came from.

One just turned in his notice to go to UPS. 8 year Captain.

Unfortunately $35k is wishful thinking.

Not if you live in base.

How many JRMs/MUPs is that including? How many days off? Admittedly I didn't bust my @55 first year but don't think I came anywhere near $35k. One month out of home base. Unless you live near FLL, maybe ACY or DTW it will take a few months to get to your home base today. $1750 for 2 months doesn't start your 12 off very well.

3rd year FO pay at Spirit is eaqual to 8th year CA pay at my current airline.

According to the "revised, revised" seniority list, I moved up 23 spots between July and January. I don't recall my exact number when I was hired, but I think I moved up about 60 in a couple of years.

same here lol first year is terrible but it gets livable quickly at Spirit. If they just got rid of 1st year pay they would get people in the door without problems.
