Unfortunately the training program you guys have is very different from every other airline and guys are failing. I would love to see Spirits hiring demographics. I would bet a good % of the guys have good amount time and experience.
You're looking from the outside in and at a limited sample.
Just 4 years ago every guy in my class at Spirit had over 8,000 TT and 5,000+ TPIC. Most were long time Regional Captains or guys with Heavy International experience (Ex-World, Evergreen and North American).
Now they have reduced the mins and started hiring a much less experienced candidate on average.
It's apparent that these two different types of candidate handle the
SAME Spirit Training program with a very different success rate.
