Nope. Just considering Spirit to be a career airline is laughable.

Where’s the spirit cheerleaders saying “Sandi let another one by?”
how times change. Place is poised to become a CFI churning ground before going to a legacy. Captains thought their Instructing days were behind them? Think again. Brush up on your fundamentals of instruction book for your new right seat co workers. Also Brush up on being nice to your new generation of helicopter parent raised co pilots. Lots of positive reinforcement required. Pro Stands and HR will be busy with factual based feedback hurt feelings soon. |

For those interested in leaving due to the announcement of the Frontier merger, where are you wanting to go — or already left or about to leave to — this year and why?

Airline cultures and QOL can change very quickly, especially during/after a merger. Just because Spirit may be a good place to be today in terms of QOL doesn't mean that it will be even tolerable a year from now.
If you are looking at airlines, look at longevity. Which airlines will still be in business in 20 years. Which airlines have the best hubs/route structure. Which airlines have the infrastructure to support the continued success of the airline and any future needs. Which airline will give you the best chance of having a long and successful career. I would rather have a solid 30 year career with constant career progression as opposed to "It's a relaxed place to fly and has good crews", but then you have to start over again and again as airlines go out of business. That is what is important. |

Have you seen the balance sheets of the legacy carriers? American looks really scary, UAL is hanging on by a thread, and Delta isn't in great shape. If not for the federal government pumping money, these companies would be bankrupt. Spirit, while not making money, still has a healthy balance sheet. Indigo has money in the bank.

agree! I can’t wait to take spirit to Zurich, Madrid, or Lisbon. Thank god we have a large ULCC to facilitate transportation for 29 dollar transcon fares.

At a ULCC you can make over $250k a year while only working half the month. Plus you can easily hit the IRS limits on your 401k retiring with millions in the bank. Sounds like a great career to me.
