Keeps his sick bank, vacation, and better traveling benefits.. Question is, why do YOU think Spirit is a better choice? Spirit offers him DFW and an Airbus type (which only Asia might care about).

As far as hating Spirit.. my best friend is a Captain at Spirit. I wouldn't say he hates Spirit but he doesn't like it. Can't wait for the phone to ring (AA, Delta, UA, FedEx or UPS).
Completely agree! And like your best friend, I am also here at Spirit and looking forward to the phone call out of this place.

After you flow what is the estimate to hold DFW at AA? I thought I've heard it's around a decade right now but that may not be accurate.

Jan/Feb 2016 DOH was awarded DFW for Nov (737)

Let's clear up this misconception.
All pilots transferring to AA from Envoy begining with the July 2017 classes fall under the part of the contract called Protected Pilots. Protected Pilots and anyone junior to them (including today's new hires) do not get any longevity benefits. When you flow to AA now you get a job, that's it.

Worked at Envoy for 7 years? Thank you. You will start at with 0 years time of service for vacation accrual, retirement, sick, travel, etc...

Did you use ZED tickets while you were at Envoy? We'll you'll have to wait the 6-12months to use them again.

401k? 0% company contribution for the first 12 months, not fully vested for 7 years.

The 824 group who you are referring to were the last to receive these benefits.

Was not aware of the change. Regardless, I still can't see a single reason to go to Spirt over Envoy. Not in his case anyways..

Haha you're funny.. "you get a job, that's it". You realize how many pilots want to just "get a job, that's it"?

PS- All new hires get ZED after 6 months.

I never said I’m not here. It is possible to retake the portion that was unsatisfactory on the ride. I know exactly what it’s like here and I feel like I’m trapped here now. Oh joy

It's pathetic that this is even a question.

I know a guy who didn't make it through Spirit, he's been hired at two different airlines since.

Wow. My information/assumption was obviously wrong. Thanks for the correct info.
