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.
The main allure of this place for me is the ability to drop trips and have some QOL. The regional where I am currently has ZERO ability, because the reserves have been in the negatives for all but maybe three months of the 3 1/2 years that I've been there. Going to another regional likely wouldn't make sense, since the reserves probably wouldn't be all that much better than the one where I currently am. I have plenty of time in the 900, so would it be unrealistic to think I could get through training here without washing out?
