I understand the part about where you want to live, but I think you may need to do some homework with where Spirit is compared to the legacies. One the A320 we make less per hrs. I've been here 4 years and will bring in 225K this year (on reserve 10 out of the 12 months and only giving up 8 days off to pick something up) and sitting at 50% on the seniority in the company. We have 2nd year FO doing about 100K (I know it's not as much as UAL) but it's still a good income. Personally i would look at the ULCC before considering the regionals, if you are concern about pay and QOL.

Thanks, more info is good.

I am already a new hire at SkyWest and start initial training this Friday. I’m researching options for the longer term starting later this summer.

No disrespect meant at all toward Spirit or Frontier. Glad to hear it’s a solid-paying option.

Appreciate all the input!
