I feel very fortunate to have had the classmates and instructors I had. There were some real gems out there teaching the paper tigers and ground school that had no business teaching a 121 class. They were very green and had no clue about what was important and what wasn't. Fresh out of a 172 and don't even know how clueless they really are.
My CSI guys were good but the machine didn't work over 1/2 the time. Something was always inop and it really made it difficult to absorb the lesson.
The carpets ARE filthy and the break room is a mess. One can't help but quickly realize this isn't just Spirit showing how well they "save customers money" but in fact a sign how little they think of us.
It's amazing how some of you guys attack someone who passes along their experience.
Maybe when you guys were new hires and they gave you rental cars and you stayed at a place with breakfast and you felt appreciated.
Those days and feelings are over. In my opinion they aren't just saving money, they are running this place with little regard for our professional lives. And new applicants need to know this. You're not just getting paid less to fly a 321 than a 50 seat RJ, in ground school you're also treated worse than your regional.
^this. Word needs to get out to folks looking to come here.
