Spirit is a safe airline because of the pilots. Pay issues aside, you guys are the gatekeepers and there's a lot of pressure on you to turn out good, safe line pilots or reject the ones who don't meet the standards.

The public, FAA, and media are not going to be as forgiving on Spirit as they are for DAL, LUV, AA, etc. if there is a mishap.

If you guys say everybody needs more hours of OE, or people from non-turbojet backgrounds need more OE, whatever it takes...I support that. Please, just help to make sure everybody stays safe around here.

Keep up the good work. My experiences with the training dept. at Spirit have all been excellent. You guys really know your stuff.
