Spirit new hire info
How much is Spirit training pay, and do you get perdiem? Also, when does the insurance coverage start?
Also, can you pick up from open time while on reserve on your days off?

Yep $1000/mo plus $750/mo per diem until you pass OE.
Insurance after 90 days. And you can call scheduling to try to pick up a trip but you can't just grab something off flica in open time. And calling to pick up has had limited success for me. Basically count on 72 hours/mo with maybe a couple exceptions until you are off reserve. I grossed $20k in 10 months last year. Training pay lasted just over 2 months. Hope you have a savings stash somewhere.

Contractually while on reserve, you can't pick up anything from crew scheduling until inside 48 hours. Once inside 48 hours, 99% chance they won't give it to you. As soon as they give you a trip, you're not contactable until that trip.
Open time is for line/relief holders. This is a good thing!
