Son welcome to the reality of the airline world. Never and always are two words that are never used in the airline world.

Huh? It was a honest question. Do you ever have anything positive to say?

He started in on JC about this and won't let it go; saying that if you had started at Spirit, AirTran, Virgin or JetBlue 2003-2007 you would be a captain by now and senior at half of them. When it was pointed out that a 2001 hire at NK is not a "senior" CA, he began to call for someone who worked there to counter. Then he said it all depended on your base. It was pathetic.

You didn't write "that a 2001 hire at NK is not a "senior" CA."
You wrote (quote) "Yeah, OK a junior CA at Spirit is a 2001 hire still on reserve."
That led me to believe you were talking about the most junior CA at NK. I asked you are you talking about the most junior pilot at Spirit overall, or the most junior Captain in a certain base?
You didn't answer.
Then I wrote that I had confirmed with a current Spirit pilot that indeed the most junior Captain was hired in late 2007 based at the DFW base.
Then you finally chimed back into the thread (after staying silent on purpose, refusing to comment) that a 2001 CA is still on reserve but isn't the most junior.
True, but it doesn't change the fact the most junior Captain is still 6 years below that in late 2007.
It was a play on words and I misunderstood what you wrote to be most junior. And is it "pathetic"? What is pathetic is certain people that like to blow things out of proportion and take things a little too seriously.

Because I considered re-tossing my app at NK simply for a certain base. A lateral move isn't worth it if it is shrinking and/or closing.

Just by subtracting 10 from each side, the last guy displaced would be an early 2001 hire on the CA side, and an early 2012 hire on the FO side. I am sure the actual bid will be quite different.
