Supposedly Spirit has big plans to expand and grow well beyond 2021 (hence looking at C-300s). You can't expand without pilots. We are the commodity and, in time, we will have to be well compensated to retain and attract pilots in order to grow. I'd imagine an Allegiant-like pay scale plus more. The first LCC to boost pay will have first dibs on the regional FOs (since most Allegiant, Frontier, JetBlue, and Spirit new-hires are Regional FOs). If they make this place attractive to have them STAY, then I don't see why Spirit can't become the next SWA @500 planes and 5000 pilots in 15-20 years (that might include a merger down the road :/)

It's been a pleasure to fly with you guys/gals. I resigned last week and got a call today from the membership committee. I was told Spirit lost more pilots in July than they hired. Folks are taking Jyri's advice to heart. As long as that continues, there's no reason why you can't have an industry leading contract. Best wishes.

FLL is growing BACK after the construction forced downsizing. Maybe some of you need a quick dose of reality. Spirit was, and IS a FL market airline. It's not DFW or ORD. Were the new EWR routes to DFW? There's your answer

Can I ask since line bidding might be in the near future, what do you guys use to sort bid lines? Got one recommendation for www.bidpairings.com
Are there are any other programs?
