Out of curiosity, couldn’t there be a best of both worlds? I know alot of systems allow you to preference all kinds of factors, does Spirit not allow you to avoid longer legs?

Another walk around
Another MCDU loading
Another "how hot will this get before Im forced to fire up the APU because they wont hook up air"
Another "im over waiting for air, but I still am required to wait a few minutes after APU start before I can use the bleed"
Another "Ops, can you have them disconnect external air, its blowing hot"
Another "Oh, we are landing with 5.0 fuel again, ugh...I want more"
Another "Door is open, mask up in front of the pax"
etc etc etc....
versus, seat back, feet up, getting paid by the minute...and crushing peanut M&Ms

I think getting paid 0:45 per leg on top of block or better, and keep all other rigs would be better. At least than when you get the Burbank shuttle you make actually make bank...
And yes, that would mean an hourly pay cut to keep pilot cost constant.

An interesting idea. Do any other airlines do such a thing?

I don't really care how wide the tube flares behind me. Just as long as I don't have to go across 4-8 time zones and have to get my 30hrs of productive rest on the backside of the clock - bring on the long range NEO
I don't give a rat's ass as to # of aisles in the back.

From my comfy seat up front, lunch on the tray, flight deck is wide enough for me.
