Wasn’t a jab at the contract. I actually am interested in why we seem to draw more interest from corporate pilots than the other majors do. I hadn’t thought about a lot of Flight departments being in Florida. I didn’t realize it was more weighted than New York or LA or Chicago. I don’t know anything about corporate flying

Free advice (FWIW), I am not involved in hiring. But if you are only interested in NK I would go at least 135PIC. If you want to be more competitive for bigger and better things in general, I would go 2+3. Honestly not sure how much 4yr does for NK, I didn't have one and was 91K before, but I would still recommend 4yr for everywhere else. Also I think having only 91 time is seen as a risk for training as there is a very big variety in the amount of SOP/CRM/training.
Spirit is the end goal for me. Almost everybody that I've talked with really likes working there, and the compensation and lifestyle is something I could retire at. Maybe I'll look into some 135 PIC opportunities then.

I’m corporate and interested. Don’t have chief pilot, check airman, etc time so not likely to get a call from a legacy. Frontier is a dumpster fire from everything I read, jet blue is meh, Southwest I would never make captain before retiring, Alaska is too far from home, cargo is a no for me (my ability to stay up all night is nil), Allegiant is maybe possible but those old airplanes! Kind of leaves spirit. Don’t now anyone there, no internal recs. I have corporate 135 time, 4 year degree, house trained, so who knows?
New planes, long legs, I like South America/Central American flying, piques my interest.

Just so you're aware we do quite a bit of night flying. Red-eye jungle turns and LAS/LAX/OAK/SEA to XXX.

I'm referring to the management hacks, not the pilot group.
