I didn't even have to pay for a lottery ticket to stand in line for hours and act like i want to support somthing I don't support. Great move by Spirit to do these events, hope other airlines follow suit and get back to the pilots wanting to hire pilots thing again. About 25 to 30 guys showed up even some that were not invited AND in uniform.
Delta started this trend last year, and United is following suit. (They had a free Veterans-only event last November.) I believe Delta said they're no longer planning on attending OBAP, WAI or any of the other alphabet-soup organizations out there...
Nice to see this trend growing.
