If you work over 82 hours you get 125%.
If you volunteer for a junior assignment you get 125%.
If you get junior assigned you get 150%. The JA process is great. The company calls you and leave you a message. If you want the trip you call back and take it. If they try and change the trip you can't be captured over the phone. You can accept or deny a JA.

Awesome place to work, but a very uncertain future (more so about where we're headed than whether we'll make it).

Thanks for that thorough breakdown. I haven't been here (company or Part 121 world in general) long enough to have an opinion on any of this, but I have a question re the work rules part: I've been hearing that Spirit guys enjoy some of the best work rules in the industry. Yes/no? Is that not a useful barometer (as useful as any) for our future...?

IF the DEN base is the ONLY reason you’re interested, I’d pass.
No one has a clue of what is going to happen at the airline, where our new bases may or may not be, whether there’s expansion planned, etc.
One of the foundational principals in aviation is, if it’s going to get bad, it’ll get bad for the bottom of the seniority list first.
I have made decisions that were completely wrong and some that were brilliant (perhaps an over statement), but the validity of those decisions were not eveident until years later, everything is crystal clear in retrospect…
I’d stay were you are, get your upgrade, get jet PIC, hold a line, hope for a flow through agreement and, most importantly, enjoy the QOL with your new baby, that only happens once.
BTW, how old are you, that might factor into the decision.
Just my opinion.

All I can say is keep your chin up, keep applying, keep your nose clean, and keep networking! We're just getting started on this wave.
