Looking forward to 0515 shows, 5.5 hrs block, 3+ hour sits in MCO, AUS, RSW, 11hr domicile rest. Or the reverse. Day sleep in domicile 4 to 5 days in a row.
But hey, look how much the company is going to save on hotel expense. They just pass that expense to the pilot to enhance the "career".

Man a lot of panic here.
first off, in the current hiring environment, I’m surprised anyone commutes for this place. If you’re going to (unwisely) commute for a career, there are plenty of options such as legacies or moving to base.
living In base, this news seems like a dream come true. Living in base here is already a dream come true. The quality of life is insane. Even when I barely had the seniority to hold a line, I just drop it all to zero and fly 200% trips and maybe a couple high-credit day trips, which I’ll also drop if the 200% pours in. Home in my own bed 28+ days a month crediting well over 100, routinely.
For some people, like those who live in spirit bases (particularly the FL bases), this is the best airline on the planet to be at, and this email only sweetens that deal. Not to mention the staffing this summer will have the X-list phone calls going nonstop.
Just trying to shed a little positive light, I’m aware that doing so is illegal on APC. We have such a pleasant/happy pilot group sometimes I wonder if it’s a different group of people on these forums

Coming from a regional, anything Spirit has to offer is a massive improvement. Add onto that the QOL of living in base (which I hope we keep), and I might not ever want to leave!

It’s nice to see a positive light. I start at the end of the month with the intention of making Orlando home, and it’s hard to be THRILLED about it when everyone on here is so negative.

x list is no guarantee. X list is by seniority and x list hours accrued. Zero guarantee x list calls will even happen on a day off as well. I have listed for x list on days off and received zero calls. This can all be audited by the share point website.
You cannot plan your pay or credit on x list guarantee. Also, As new hires are released to the line they will get all X list calls first as they have “ zero” x list hours. And 120 new hire FO’s a month results in less x list calls for the senior FO’s looking to make some bank as your fellow new hire FO’s are ready to make some
bank after unpaid training.
just pointing out the facts. Dropping to zero and picking up x list is zero guarantee. Have to literally sit by your phone 24/7.
better to have a cba that actually pays pilots versus waiting eagerly to fly any overtime trip to still make 40 percent less then a legacy pilot
