By saying we do the same work as united and delta pilots so do regionals pilots. We all transport pax from place to place. Did many trips well over 4 hrs while at a regional so it’s not all short hops. If you’d like to argue fleet type 737 pilots arguably do more work than Airbus pilots.

We aren’t all the same. We sign up to work for a specific company with specific work rules for a specific pay. That same job at another company might pay a lot more but will have different working conditions and different work rules. You choose based on what’s acceptable and what the best overall situation is for you. Spirit has never and will never be the highest paid and a lot of people are willing to give that up for what they determine to be better qol and better work rules. This is where spirit sits in the industry and until there’s a change in management or a change in the companies position or thinking it’s where spirit will stay.

They just dropped those rules last year and it still comes down to resume. If your resume is impressive enough without a degree they won’t pass on you anymore because of it. Doesn’t mean they’ll take just anyone without one though.
