It won't be long before Spirit will be needing to do phone interviews and offer signing bonus just to get pilots to come work for these crappy rates. This whole attitude of "We don't need to be competitive to attract quality ATP licensed pilots........it's our business model.......go to someplace better if you want to be paid better."....this attitude will absolutely destroy the airline over the course of time. Good luck telling the board why we had to park brand new airplanes in long term storage because we don't have enough pilots to fly them. Spirit is a money tree and the NK management team is going to kill it because they wanted to save money on the water by watering it only once a week.
