And better compensation.

 

You know the bonus was yanked right?

 

Does compensation only come in bonus form?

 

Going to break this down for ya:

Year 1 - $38.50 (Spirit) vs $54 (Allegiant)

You'll unnecessarily accumulate some debt during your first year at Spirit. Some more than others, but certainly some debt when you make 30ish thousand.

Year 2 - $72 (Spirit) vs $96 (Allegiant)

Great! You've gotten back to RJ Captain pay, but no way you're chopping away at that debt that you accumulated.

Year 3 - $77 (Spirit) vs $103 (Allegiant)

Still RJ Captain pay and still not paying down any debt. Man, that $103 sure would help out at this point.

Year 4 - You upgrade. Maybe not for you. You've been here less than a year. But we'll use it anyway.

$131 (Spirit) vs $173 (Allegiant)

Dang, that's a big gap!

Speculate all you want on new contractual pay rates. Chit, speculate all you want on pay credits. These are the numbers that you'll have to work with and average credit hours aren't nearly enough to make up the difference.

 

Not saying the pay isn't better but I'd work here any day of the week instead of there, take a look at their maintenance records

 

Weak sauce. What are y'all Spirit Cheerleaders? Chit pay sympathizers and apologists?

 

I think you'd find me pretty far from a cheerleader for either company, considering I've worked at both.

 

Never said it did. Rather, I was simply responding to your post about pursuing the bonus. Also, thanks for breaking down hourly pay rates we ALL know about.

 

Still more than Hawaiian at $36/hr and no bonus.

 

And yet less than Endeavor, Envoy, PSA, etc.
