I have a clean record and zero skeletons in my closet that would disqualify me from any airline. It seemed (at least to me) that Spirit would more likely hire charter/corporate guys like me sooner than any other would. I have heard great things about working here (not on here at least) that attracts me to the company. That and they have a base where I live. If I have to go in and fly at a regional briefly to beef up the resume to get noticed I will. I was just hoping I could bypass that. Maybe not.
Apply and wait a couple of months first, then try the regionals. A couple of the guys interviewing with me had no 121 time IIRC.
