I have an interview coming up. 7k tt 1500 TPIC on A320. I work overseas. I don't need another minute of airbus time on my resume and I'm ASSuming that I don't need the practice. Now for the question:

If I join I'll be on McDonalds fry cook pay for a year on reserve and then McDonalds fry cook Manager pay year two. I keep hearing that you can drop your entire reserve schedule. How does that work? Do I still get paid my minimum? On 3k a month, with two kids, and not living in base, a crashpad would be impossible. If I took the job, pending the offer of course, I would rely on the fact that I can basically take the first year off and not have to worry about a crashpad. Is this possible, or am I reaching. Otherwise I could hold out for a better job that may never come. I don't need the "don't come to Spirit" rhetoric. Facts are appreciated.
