Our transition has protections, not quite the same but close. They cannot drop days in the middle but only from the end and pay protect you. I had 10 days straight over the Jan/Feb. transition and when our final schedules came out yesterday I was down to 4 working days. The 6 dropped days are pay protected and if I want to work over those days it goes on top of guarantee. Right now 21 days off worth 75 hours with 25 block hours. I'm a senior FO but this is an example of how transitions works.

Just for fun 80 hours X $77.73 is about $6,220 a month. So yearly is around $74,500. 80 hours is probably on the lower end because most of our schedules are built between 75-80 hours. Its very easy around here to credit 100 hours a month.

If you want a great QOL Spirit is your place. Before DFW opened I commuted to reserve in both FLL and LAS. Even commuting to reserve, QOL was better here at Spirit than as a junior line holder commuting at my last regional.

Pay is important, don't get me wrong, but for me QOL trumps pay.
Working with a great group of guys, for a growing company and enjoying what you do, doesn't get better than that.

for entertainment, interested in "start up" , "small airline" Spirit, I looked at their route map
Spirit Airlines - cheap tickets, cheap flights, discount airfare, cheap hotels, cheap car rentals, cheap travel
I almost choked on my ham sandwich when all the routes popped up
