-Thinking about coming over
Think again. Yes single pilot is what you are. The guy in the right seat will run the ECAM and that's about as much help as you get. You are required to be able to learn both flows, Captain and First Officer. This is so Spirit can cut training costs. You guys have been WARNED!
Buyer beware of Spirit! *** The lurer of flying an Airbus shouldn't be a deciding factor. The guys getting hired now are going to sit right seat for a long time.
