Next, what is the quality of life at Spirit like? Do people enjoy working there? How does there schedule work? How long would it take to be able to hold 4 days off at a time?
If there is somewhere that has this information listed I'd appreciate a point in the right direction.
Thank you
read through this entire thread (I did at one point, lol. lots of good info)
-You very well may Get an interview, who knows (dont know what the trick is anymore).
-As far as QOL goes, living in base makes a huge difference but QOL has been absolutely stellar! Sure we need to improve a bunch of things contractually (Pay, tighten up language, retirement) but the day to day job/crews/airplane/Reserve rules etc are all great. (as far as comparing to other Majors/LCC, I have no idea)
-4 days off (supposed to be 5) other than during the transition is mandatory Sometimes ya even get 5 or 6, lol
Ive been here a year and 4 months, here is my August Schedule. (not much variety in Destinations out of ACY but I bid basically for days/weekends off)
