Internal recommendations and patience. Just about every pilot getting hired here lately has had someone on the inside pulling (met a guy last week who went to a Spirit job fair - no internals). Even then, there is a huge stack of qualified candidates, and we'll likely pass on some great guys (we already have, please don't give up, we want you here). Be patient, and try to work an internal connection. Apply to other carriers too - Spirit isn't the only fish in the sea, and you can always hang out @ Southwest or FedEx until Spirit calls..

Thanks for the info. How does NK feel about currency?? I meet all the quals, but currency is getting in the way. (3 interviews at regionals no dice)
