ORD, DTW and DFW are due to be shrunk quite considerably. That will kill upgrade times in those bases and boot some people out. All three of them are also major hubs for major airlines, which all (at the moment) have faster upgrade times than Spirit. It's pretty easy for someone living in one of those bases to bounce.
The majority of people leaving are FOs which means they need to make new FOs before they can ramp up the upgrades. So as it stands, no one is upgrading quickly anymore unless they can convince new FOs to stay, they are not doing much to address this, which is making more FO's even more keen to leave.

If you meet the minimums (I don't) and don't have comittments in Australia you'd be stupid not to apply. 320 f/o with command in like 5 years.
Also random question: Is there anything that could stop the cargo carriers from offering positions that enable pilots to live in Australia by offering lines commencing in Australia or Asia?

It also doesn’t help when the other premier carrier has a list as long as Santa’s of pilots they need to recall first.

This Ravn ad appeared at the top of the stack today. Reading between the lines, it's aimed at E3 candidates who've been flying in a US Part 121 operation for the magical 1,000 hours that allow a captain spot. So, "...air carrier experience..." must be Part 121 ?
"...2500 hours in a fixed wing aircraft, of which 1000 hours will be multi-engine turbine flight time, and 1000 hours total flight time will be air carrier experience..."

Mainline Oz? Well dependent on carrier and fleet but with 10 years service you’d be making more than that.

How long does it take to command in a jet in Australia/USA?
What is the per hour rate at Qantas, Virgin, Spirit, AA, UAL, Delta, what's your min guarantee?
What do your reserve/rostering rules look like? Can you swap trips? What are the rules surrounding roster building?
What does your super/401k look like after 10/20/30 years? Can you retire at 50/55/60 in Aus v USA?
What did the top FedEx/UPS Captain/FO earn last year, 2 years ago, 5 years ago?
Can you commute? Is your commuting company supported? Do you have KCM in Aus?
What does your seat lock look like? What are the rules surrounding seniority and seat lock look like?
And more importantly, do you own your RV6/7/8/9/10/14 prior to retirement?

a 737 VA as a 10 even 15 +yr FO does not have that high a base -Prior to Bain yes, circa base $157K year 3 FO. Let alone makeup the last 2 years of lost income. Weren't US pilots paid continuously during Covid.
$130,065 VA 55 hrs MCG - $175.50 hr productivity

What does your seniority do for you in reverse? Last I heard A380 capt was the most senior position in Aus, yet they got booted out first when the **** hit the fan...
