Anyone who posts a thread in the Southwest section asking “envoy or Spirit” as the best path to SWA, must have “SWA” written across his forehead.
Best of luck to you. I personally don’t want to share a flight deck with someone who thinks this place is on par with any regional; I don’t want that mindset at this place.
And it’s insukting to those of us who are making a career out of this place while you view it as a stepping stone. I’d rather not waste a class spot on someone like you.
9 months under new contract and 3 under old, and signing bonus; I’ll make $300k this year. Next year without the signing bonus I’ll make over $250k easily. This ain’t a regional, brother.
You don’t have a minute of jet or 121 time to your resume. You are not a preferred hire or even likely to get an interview.
Sorry if my position is direct; but wasting people’s time asking how much you will make first year while trying to “bail”, waste of time

I ask all my 20-something FO's if they have their stuff out and take small pleasure when they say that they do. Yes, I've committed to a career here for my own reasons, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to.
As long as they don't approach it with an entitled and condescending attitude, that is.

I disagree. If we continue to have a high turnover rate, it's possible, (not likely, but possible) that it will get noticed by higher-ups. While the next contract is still far away, a high turnover rate is a bargaining chip, albeit a weak one, as we found out last year.
