I was thinking E/K/R...C-135 but always thought the 707 was larger than the 757. I was curious if it was some kind of Soviet contraption where the reverse engineered a 757 and added more power.

707 is slightly larger than a -135. 135's are based on the 707 prototype and that's where the similarities end apparently. But yes you are right it's an RC.

Jumping way ahead of myself here but is LAS a junior or senior domicile?

Just wondering, about what can you expect to make first year FO? I see the pay scale on this site, and can do the math based on min guarantee. Is that pretty accurate or is it easy to make more?

It depends if you live in base, and how often you answer your phone when crew scheduling calls.

"4 engines 757 size" could be C-130J stretch, C-17, or one of the -135 variants.
How did you bomb your first job fair?? I've never been to one so I don't know what exactly it entails. How exactly did you bomb a meet n greet type event?

Greetings Friends,

Thank you for all the info here on Spirit. I would like to request you some info as well. I am currently in the sand-pit (Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi) and looking to come back to the US. I am an A320/ A330 F/O here with 7k total hours. Been here close to 6 years and feel now's the time to come back to US. I have sent in the application on the website and still waiting for an e mail from them. I see the QOL is quite nice there but how much can I make the 2nd and 3rd year as an F/O. Still need to feed the fam. Thanks guys.

Regards
