The number one thing they could do is sign an industry standard contract thus making Spirit attractive to more experienced pilots that generally can push themselves through our crappy training program. Right now our contract attracts pilots that are not yet equipped with the skills to make it through our terrible program. The training hasn’t changed in years yet failures are up exponentially as hiring has ramped up at carriers with much more lucrative compensation packages. The experience goes elsewhere and we get the bottom of the barrel and hope one doesn’t end up in a mountain one day
