But I think that also exposes another issue. If you think you might want to apply to a legacy major in the future I'd suggest taking a good look at your overall career goals and proceed from there. From an outsider's perspective I'd say you are at a career V1 point (to use an aviation analogy.)
If it were myself, I'd much rather get hired by UAL or DAL or AA next month than four years from now when each of them has already hired 4000 new pilots above me.

Good thinking. (Seriously.)

No offense to the OP, but using logic like this to make a career decision is a mistake. The EWR 737 schedules today will not be the same as they are in 2 years, 5 years, 20 years. The same could be said for Spirit, where you work now.
This is akin to pilots that wanted to get hired by American when they had a Nashville base...that closed. Or that wanted to get hired by TWA because they lived in St. Louis...only to see TWA fail.
The decision to stay at one airline or move to another needs to be based upon the totality of information available about both companies, along with the best estimate of where each company will go in the short, medium, and long term outlooks. Focusing on one variable will inevitably lead to disappointment.

How on earth did you spend that much for dinner in CCS? I traded in $20 for Bolivares. Had pizza and a Coke for lunch. Then had a nice fish dinner with a salad and desert, along with a drink. Gave the van driver a nice tip, and still have 400 Bolivares left sitting on my bedstand. I figure everything I ate, drank, and tipped for 2 meals cost me around $16. I'll mail them to you if you want for your next trip, I'm not on the guppy anymore.
