Or you can go to SWA and work 12 days a month and make $300K as an FO (included are NEC, and 5% PS). Or go to a legacy and make more....

Half of the NK pilot group that will be here for the next picket weren’t even on property in 2017. Like it or not it’s a whole different group and the majority will be newer junior pilots. You fly with them, talk to them about how important this is.
And if those of you who were MIA in 2017 want to sit it out again, I’ll catch a flight out to Denver and walk the line with the F9 pilots.

I’ve been more than happy seeing new blood come in this last decade, watering down some of the “legacy Spirit” pilot mentality we had, conflict blinders on and nothing else. And yup, we hired a bunch more, I just hope apathy isn’t contagious like it was in 2017
Proof is in the MF’ing pudding…we will see. Because people were just as loud in 2017 on these same forums and the effort was pathetic unless there was free pizza and beer involved

Very true. I look forward to Frontier getting short staffed so I can cash in on some more premium trips too.

But have you seen the 737 cockpit? (Just joking... kind of)

This poll is going to be misleading. You forgot to put the option of how many people now plan on staying as a result of the merger.
That would be my choice. I had entertained the idea of leaving to AA before, in particular after ORD closure, but now? No way. It’s true AA has a massive amount of retirements, but they also have a massive amount of debt and just recorded almost a billion in losses in one quarter alone. Frontier (Indigo) just announced the largest aircraft order in history and a few months later bought into an airline 150% larger than itself. Throw in some inflation, fuel prices, and interest rate hikes, maybe even war. Choose very carefully. Agreed SWA is a much safer bet but a quick scan through their pages on this forum and it’s easy to see it’s not all roses over there either. Plenty of 5-6 year FOs leaving on to the legacies there too or looking out with envious eyes. This industry is all about timing and luck.
