Every month I usually am awarded 15-18 days off crediting 70-72 hours holding some/most of the days I want off, off. By the end of the month, after rebuilding by entire schedule and listing for premium, I average 18.5 days off and 103 credit on average. Getting EVERY day that I want off, off. |

No other major airline has the reserve grid language or drop-to-zero language that we have at Spirit. Once a lineholder here, there is NO other place to experience the flexibility you have here. Are the other parts of our CBA industry leading? HELL NO. But scheduling flexibility, it is.

I am senior enough that I get the schedule I want awarded. But when I get calls to work on my days off to work for 200%, I will sometimes say yes, and often drop the next trip to keep days worked same, but still get extra credit. Just got called for an X trip. 42 hours credit, leave Saturday early afternoon, home Monday morning, as a commuter. I have seen plenty of things better at other places. Our premium and commute policy are good....

Does this continue post merger? Would love to see that part of Spirit carry over in a JCBA
It’s a non-starter for NKs NC during negotiations and there is no reason it won’t be the same when the JCBA talks begin. |

You’ll get IAH before you’re completely done with training if you want it. Everyone initially gets LAS, but then next month you should have no issues being able to bid and hold IAH |
