I've had more than one coversation with ones that expressed the "man, I don't know how you guys did it. I probably would have quit and done something else"

May you never reach the age (if not yet) when just on age spread, you could be your FO's dad.

The dark decade (and a half) sucked that way.

The key at this point is to get the interview and then the CJO and make a decision. I left there over two years ago and it’s the best decision I have ever made. Whether you come here go to AA or even WN. Apply to them all and go from there. Your main question should be Who should I be contacting about reviewing my resume and getting ready for an interview not should I stay at spirit in this environment. I loved spirit, but job security and your career is more important than asking a million questions and about reserves when you don’t even have to make the decision yet.


same , I just wrote letters for friends that have been at spirit for 10 years and 1 for a Frontier guy who’s been there 9.

your overthinking the entire decision iMO . Minus the AA part in DFW. That’s a tough decision , commuting kills the soul.
