Livable for whom? A single guy with no life?

1st year pay is like the "Jelly of The Month Club". It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Sure, years 2 and 3 are livable, but you're carrying $25,000+ in Credit Card Debt from making less than $30,000 first year ($29,900 for me).

Great point. Don't forget that 18-23 percent interest loan you'll be taking out just to feed your family. Oh and don't forget. Upgrades are done. You will be a Spirit FO for years and years dragging that first year CC debt around with you like an anchor

I track it month by month, bid by bid. Aug 2016 hire, moved up 43 numbers as of today. Also lost close to a dozen below me, that number is harder to track.

I"d like to see an attrition list updated every month by the union. It may be a wash for the guys/gals here less than 6 months but how many training events does it trigger when a captain leaves?
Could be costly in the long run...
