The hiring stats are indicative; most regional captains no longer view Spirit as a viable career airline. Some are even reluctant to accept the job and are wise to assess the potential career impediment as it is likely better to beef up the legacy resume with Line Check Airman or other opportunities at their current airline.

Many of the best and brightest are leaving. I've come across two mil guys that are on their way out shortly. (I didn't even know we had that many mil guys here )

Guys should direct their efforts towards DL and UA. AA won't be hiring much off the street until APR/MAY 2016.
