Spirit or Airtran? Which would you pick?

[dude100]

I'm in a position to go to one of these carriers with my flight experience. Which one would you choose considering upgrade times, contract negotiations, fleet types, general QOL, etc.? Or would you just wait and see if something better comes along?

Which one do you WANT to goto?

Then apply there

Where do you live?

I would not go to either one at this time.

If you don't care about where you are based...then apply to both. You may not even have a choice. When you have a JOB OFFER from both, then you have a choice to make.

Airtran is a PUBLIC company, at least you have an idea what management is doing. Up grade time is about 2 2/1 yrs, ATL base. They are renegotiating the contract.
Spirit is a PRIVATE company, so you don't really know whats going on. They announced big expansion and a bunch more airplanes. You get typed on A320. Up grade is about 3 to 3 1/2 years, FLL base.

I would apply for both and whoever hires you, you go.
Good luck!

Two very different companies. Really depends on what things are important to you. What are you looking for in an airline?
