No contract for years. Negotiations are at a stand still.

you'll make less than any regional your first year here

you won't upgrade if they don't order more planes

constant contractual violations (scheduling disregards sections they want when it suits them)

if your flight is delayed, expect a call from a chief. If the delay is for any reason basically other than maintenance or the gate, expect to be disciplined.

you'll have to be an accountant every month to make sure you're paid correctly (hint its never in your favor)

you'll never be able to get any issue resolved correctly without having to escalate it to the highest level.


This is just a short list of the many realities of being a Spirit pilot. Now tell me again why anyone would come here?
