There is no logic except for the people making the phone calls scheduling pilots. I know the frustration is showing, but time is of the essence to try and get in Spirit ASAP.
Maybe said Spirit Pilot isn't liked or is known for some unpopular reason. Maybe the "Captains" resumes and cover letters are not what they are looking for. But more than Likely, since you said 4 Captains who used to fly with a Spirit pilot, we are told to make a couple and serious recommendations, not everyone you have ever flown with. My guess is the guy maybe made more the the 4 you mention and they no longer favor his rec. Just a thought.
And sorry but not everyone can be interviewed. At what point was it that, just because you apply you deserve an interview? Or because you meet the requirements, you deserve an interview?
