Default JetBlue or Spirit? If you live in Orlando...

If you live in Orlando and your main priority is QOL, which one would you choose?

JB pays a little better, but I think you need to find out base size and demographics for both. Driving to work, priceless, but seniority progression will impact QOL and career compensation (upgrade).

I think you can hold MCO in Spirit right out of training or within a month at the moment. No insight into JetBlue but I know a 2 1/2 year FO who still cannot get to MCO.

A job outside of aviation.

Yeah, I know that it takes about 3 on the 320. I've heard that it goes down about 1 year on the 190.
