Reading the responses here has been really good for me. I have interviews at 2 legacies coming up. 2.5 year FO, 32 years left. It's just the drop and xlist lifestyle is so plentiful in ord right now and it's even better with a baby in the house, so I'm really going to be inconveniencing myself in the present but hopefully my future self thanks me. I'll definitely miss the schedule flexibility. My wife is excited for the travel benefits but I dunno how she's going to go with me getting short called into 4 days again.
If UA want me I think I'll be going.

Easy decision if you are an FO with 32 years left, I wouldn’t stay at spirit.

For the OP, check out the state of the economy. Housing is down another 20% last month, Portfolios are losing value, cost of goods is increasing. People aren’t going to go into bankruptcy because of bad loans, it will be because of total debt. Does everything “feel” like it’s in a good spot? Their is a tremendous amount of global instability and almost certainly a war is on the horizon (currently in a proxy war). Knowing that and that airlines hire until they furlough is also useful.
If you only have 15 yrs left, how would it feel spending 2 of those furloughed?
Best of luck to you, whatever you choose.

My problem is this was based on upgrade, what happens if the recession hits hard, age 67, unknown factors. I'm already in the left seat and making guaranteed money.

Riding it out here, despite roughly 30yrs remaining. Could absolutely eventually make more with a legacy, but we are living comfortably off of minimum guarantee & have less than a decade before kid is flown. Living in base with great QOL goes a long way.

I was bidding roughly 48% in DFW when I left in September and had the same concerns. I was dropping and x/y listing and could’ve held CA I’m FL.
The first year at DL has been a pay cut, but with all the movement I’ll be at 50% in base after year one. I moved to base and haven’t worked a holiday or birthday and hardly work on reserve. I knew I’d be taking a pay cut but didn’t anticipate how great QOL would be. Best of luck!
