No I wouldnt. But if I lived in a JB base, that wasnt a spirit base, then I could see a reason why. But thats about it. With the current contracts not really much different between the two. Its also a longer upgrade at JB last I checked and lots of growth expected at NK. So that would far outweigh any few percent difference in the pay scale.
I also cant stand JB’s “culture”. Clean cabins as part of non rev benefits? Ya no thanks. All the crews Iv met have been fantastic though!

Volatility=opportunity. Easy to make a quick turn profit on SAVE.

FWIW, many here may already indirectly own some of these stocks through mutual funds.
In our 401k: PSCZX has over 115,000 shares of SAVE. IMOZX has over 300,000 shares of DAL.

I own SAVE indirectly through one of my mutual funds in my Roth.

Agreed, the only reason I could see leaving would be if it allowed you to avoid commuting.
