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?

honestly, its still better than any regional airline. Come here, get your A320 type, and keep applying to the big leagues. Worst case scenario, you get stuck here. Better to be stuck here than at a regional that will most likely be out of business soon.
