the pairings are terrible if you’re Junior. Senior not so much. Definitely a seniority favored schedule with PBS now.

But why would they??? Operating them as NK means losing money. If there was money to be made growing what SC does, why not grow organically, as opposed to buying a new type, with maxed out pay pilots, a boat load of debt, and nothing worth any money, leading to all sorts of costs. Way easier to buy a few gently used 737s (that have working engines) every few months and hire new cheap, well trained pilots.

Avelo would be a much more likely acquisition target than SpiritWings.

Opening a pilot domicile took a year plus arbitration.
….I’d be very surprised.

Except that base arbitration took seven years. They had to try a few times until they found an arbitrator who didn't understand what they were asking for.
Point is this place couldn't swallow Spirit and you are 100% right.
