It doesn’t matter that much, but it’s a slight factor of annoyance to me. I’ve had awkward moments with people that have strong opinions about their dislike for spirit. Do I care that much? No, but it’s still annoying. It factors in with everyone, even if it’s very very small.

If it means anything, I have been in the elevator with United pilots and overheard other hotel guests give them **** too. Likewise, I've run into people who say they love Spirit.

I’m not one to pay attention to what people think. Hence why I didn’t engage in the conversation. But having to explain why NK is a good place to be at versus my former regional is tiresome. I’m genuinely happy here and love what I do and who I do it for, but yes that convo is tiring.

I use this as a teaching moment for strangers and family.

when I am driving around in my Lambo and a dude pulls up next to me in his Mustang and asks “What do you do for a living?” I proudly say I am a pilot for Spirit and then see their jaw drop.

Or when I am eating dinner with my Brother and his family and his wife ask is that a Rollie on your wrist? I say yeah I bought that with my last paycheck. And she has a envious look on her face because he is just an accountant who make mediocre pay.

The median household annual income in this country is about $78K.

NK CA at 12 year pay is making $300 an hour even now, Toss in DC and that’s over $1 million every three years. That’s 96th percentile HOUSEHOLD income and by that time the 401k and investments are probably adding another $50-100K to the mix annually putting them in the 97th percentile - higher with a working spouse. And that’s with a JCBA coming up.

Let them laugh all they want.
