Do you make up the money lost by starting over? Maybe depends on many variables but age would be the biggest. Do you ever get your schedule back? Most likely not unless you are quite young. And if you do how many years of garbage schedule must you endure to get it back? What is the family dynamic (kids ages) while you and they suffer through your new **** schedule reality? Remember if you want to try and recoup the money loss quicker then the schedule will take a hit for longer. Aint nobody trying to do 3+ day trips ever again let alone 5 day trips. Now if spirit is out of business this is all moot. And of course if you were starting your career today yes a career at a legacy would most likely be better than one at spirit |

A career at Spirit will never even come close to matching a career at a legacy airline. I am glad, though, that there are some that are "too lazy to send out (their) stuff right now". There needs to be someone left at Spirit to turn the lights off when it is all said and done.

It’s going to be about a 5 year break even for me money wise. I’m 2.5 years into legacy world. The scheduling boogeyman needs to go away. I pretty much drop my entire month and pick up what I want now or play premium games.

do you get weekends and holidays off? What vacations are you holding? |

I was off for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was off for New Year’s, but picked up a two day and two days of holiday pay because my family was with the in laws and I was going to be home by 9am New Year’s day. Year two vacations were nothing special. 1 in October, 1 in November and the third is this February. We’ll see what year 3 holds, but it should be pretty decent as I’ll be in the 35-38% range in my seat. Btw, the vacations follow you if you change bases, and you keep them if you upgrade. That wasn’t the case when I changed bases as Spirit and they scheduled upgrade over one of my vacations. It’s not all roses. I won’t tell anyone that. But it seems a no brainer if you have time left and your issues for not jumping are pay and schedule related. |

Investors, especially hedge funds, sink millions into things because they thing they can 3x, 5x, 10x their investment.
If they loose their money, they say "that sucked" and go to Aspen for the weekend to "decompress" |

In 2022, this hedge fund manager lost 6B in a month for his investors. Pretty bad bet, you would think nobody would touch him after that.
