And I might be qualified but I'm still about 1000 hours off from competitive.

I would not risk what I had just earned in pursuit of a larger but less shiny jet. I fully intend to make coming to Spirit more than a 5 month experience I want my next job to be 10 plus years so that I can enjoy the quality of life
Not a deal breaker but a flag for the same reasons listed above.

I dont know if it was spirit or atlas that was selling its investors on the high turnover rate as a way of keep crew costs down, lowering the cost per seat mile.
