Hey guys Michael Burry is in the chat!
How does 20,000 retirements at other airlines translate into upgrade time up into infinity at Spirit? Can you explain that non sense statement Mike?

you have a degree in aviation don't you?

lol, the grammar in this "sentence".

I wouldn't worry about upgrade times, sounds like spirit is your only option regardless.

They can preach all they want that we dont have an attrition/hiring problem but at least in bases that dont sit on a coastline, they are understaffed FO side.

That AA flow through looking pretty good right about now huh.

Short sighted. Only lasts as long as they need you at 200%. Plus your upgrade just went north of 5 years. Your own words I might add. How about north of $160/hour narrowbody year three so you make the same as you are now at 200% for just flying your line? Not to mention what you could add on top.

Dude it’s ok, we don’t all have to want to work at AA. Be gone and be happy. I’m generally happy here, make good money and fly with great crews.

No regrets, hope the best for you.

Also one point of correction, $160/hour is not 200% of what I make lol. $240 would be a closer number.
