I'm in agreement that having Spirit on my resume is a hindrance.
Im at one of the regionals that flies for more than one mainline. so we get no flow or preferred interviews or anything. in my mind, why would united, etc. want to hire me if I'm technically already flying for them, if my company is having trouble hiring people, why would united want to hire me and then potentially cause the regional to cancel flights because lack of pilot. why hire from someone who already basically works for them, when they can hire from their competition ...do you get what Im trying to say? I've heard it called the regional conspiracy. what about jet blue guys do they have this problem? and do guys at allegiant and frontier have that "stink" on their resume also and have issues getting hired?
