Our pay rates were a product of the industry at that exact time… not a cop out by our pilot group or NC. The only company to get a TA before us was Sun Country… and for a short time, our pay scales were among the highest. $232 looked pretty good when DAL was at $206 for the same equipment. G4 management was brilliant when they finally decided to “give in” just before things exploded. Do you think our NC would have negotiated our rates if the SWA and DAL new pay scales existed at that time? Probably not… they would have had more leverage.
Unfortunately, you can’t use your peers “hypothetical new pay scales” at the negotiating table. See Allegiant! Fortunately for you guys, you’ll benefit from being behind a few other airlines in the TA department. From where I’m sitting, your timing makes me a bit jealous.
However, you’re setting yourself up for extreme disappointment if you expect to be higher than Delta

And as far as setting myself up for extreme disappointment, I think I'll let management be the ones to manage my expectations not fellow pilots.

It actually pays to drop your trips and do something else on your first year. I know 1 guy that did 13 months here and flew 160 total! Get checked out and drop everything you can. Go apply at the regionals and collect those signing bonus till you're off probation.

I just flew with a new hire last trip and he told me he's telling his friends not to come to Spirit. He said the training was really marginal. It's a huge risk to try it and have a pink slip on your record if things don't work out. That and the lack of support and information about benefits, scheduling, payroll, etc., etc....

Marginal like many other things here at NKS. This place does the absolute minimum to comply with anything it does. Just take a look at contract negotiations.
