Spirit has approximately what, 160ish planes right now?
I read that they will have 293 planes by 2026-2027 under the current order. That number doesn't include the additional 50 airplane options, correct? Moreover, I'm curious how that would affect seniority in terms of pilots per plane and how many pilots would be on property by the end of this growth cycle. 5,000 pilots? 6,000 pilots? If so, it sounds like the ability to make captain relatively soon is contingent on getting hired and soon.
Also, what is the attrition outlook at Spirit right now? I know pilots love working at Spirit, but with massive hiring signaled by the legacy carriers, I can't help but think that anyone who'd want to go to a legacy probably will have a decent chance.
Thank you everyone whose responded so far, it's helping build a picture of what's to be expected -- everything from min. guarantee to premium months + days off.

You’re 100% right. There will be a point that with this current order spirit will hire the last captain relatively soon. Management will either have to offer FOs something that makes hanging out here in the right seat for a decade a better deal than starting over at a legacy or they will have regional type attrition from the bottom half. Hopefully they keep growing until the retirements pick up here in the next decade or two that way when growth stops it rolls into retirements and the list keeps moving for everyone.
