Tell that to the AA guys in PHX or BOS. Sitting on the edge of their seats.

I take it with the news in the last week that Frontier is increasing the first year pilot pay to $90 an hour with a minimum $75 hour guarantee that Spirit will still NOT increase the first year pilot pay?
Lemme know if my logic checks here. From reading on here the reason I'm assuming that is the way the pay works with Spirit is that you cannot just adjust up the pay for the first year First Officers but for everyone. Also from reading on here with the merger the management is focused on other things. Finally, with the merger there could be a lot more pilots applying to Spirit, but I'm not sure if that is actually the case.

Those aren’t great examples of bases….STL - TWA hub that AA didn’t want, PIT - US Air hub, AA didn’t want, CLE - CAL hub that UA didn’t want.
Better example would be DL cutting CVG. Regardless, if you think Delta is moving out of Atlanta, I have some oceanfront property in Iowa to sell you.

in 2015 UA closed their pilot base at SEA. Not too sure how long it had been open but they once flew DC-3s out of there.
Back in the 60s I believe it was the most senior domicile UA had. But after absorbing Northwest, Delta sort of ran them out. A lot of very senior people found themselves commuting to SFO.
There are no guaranteed safe bases. In the course of a career, becoming a commuter sometime is damn near inevitable.
