No I would say that those guys are still in a good place and congrats on going to a legacy. So you don't know what I would and would not be okay with. I know you spent 5 minuets at a regional and 5 minuets at spirit before getting a call from AA so you think you have it all figured out. But there are people at Spirit who have been there probably longer than you have been alive whose entire life is in the balance of this. So to come back and rub what is already obvious in their faces just to justify YOUR decision for leaving is ultimate level of trash I could never lower myself to. If that makes me "soft" then so be it.
Again, stop being the victim. Stop making everyone the villain. Nobody is rubbing anything in anyone's face, it's you being sensitive. I swear, are you someone's wife?

You've posted this before, and it makes zero sense. You definitely have a better idea of where Spirit is heading now than you did 9-12 months ago. The app/interview process can go quickly or take a long time. Worst case scenario, you interview and decide not to take the job and ride out Spirit. All it costs you is a bit of time.
Conversely, if NK were to go Chapter 7, you would now be competing against those with some sort of flow, the military guys, and everyone else from NK (and possibly F9) for those legacy new hire slots so there is that too. No one-size-fits-all ‘right choice’ but you at least ought to be considering ALL the pros and cons before making any decision.

I was at Spirit for 13+ years, never rubbed anything in anyones face. You are again being defensive, believing only those with 6 months left for another airline, while more senior Spirit guys have circumstances where their "entire life is in the balance. " Wrong again, Snowflake; many left that had much more time flying Yellow planes (and grey before that) than you do. Guys at top of the pay scale, somewhere you are trying to reach. 3000+ pilots had/have had skin in the game.
Again, stop being the victim. Stop making everyone the villain. Nobody is rubbing anything in anyone's face, it's you being sensitive. I swear, are you someone's wife?

Let it go bruh, I will say this though, Noisecanceller said the move you made makes no financial sense.

I left NK in January. Miss the guys I flew with and the comfort of knowing everything, my seniority and the pilot culture. Moved on to wearing a hat, it’s just a job and commuting does suck. The starting over blows but the nagging cloud of uncertainty is gone. I would say fill out apps even if you want to ride Spirit into wherever/whatever happens next. No harm no foul to have started the process for possibly having something in your back pocket if you wanted to pull the trigger. Wish nothing but the best for all my buds still there.
This right here...100%

I think we hit a sore spot. Guessing you are an ULCC pilot too. I fly my A321 for Delta for $365.88 an hour as a year 3 Captain. Your year 12 Captains do it for $270. I get a very large profit sharing check on V Day every year. Your pilots don't. I work for a company that values me. Your pilots don't. I chose to leave a sh!t stain airline that didn't value me, you and many other like you chose to stay. We fly the same airways and the same aircraft to the same cities. Your pilots just do it for about half the compensation I make every day. Life is full of choices. Enjoy yours and I'll enjoy mine.

Imagine having such low self esteem that you go to other airline’s forums to tell them how you make more money than they do. You do realize that there are pilots out there who make more than you do right? Why aren’t you working for them? It’s obviously because you’re an idiot and have no clue what is a priority in your life. There is no other explanation. Some people are career flight instructors…idiots. Some people fly helicopters…idiots. Some people enjoy doing aerial photography…you guessed it! IDIOTS! Some people are happy at Spirit, are in a position to and are willing to gamble on their futures at this airline. None of them care about your priorities, they care about their own, like most mature adults do. Moving to another airline is also a gamble. Karma is a real ***** bub and it will catch up to you. Need to work on your self esteem in the meantime. You don’t have to admit it now…there are many signs and everyone can see it.
