So you are suggesting that Spirit openly didn’t hire this pilot because of their military status?
Here’s another take: I understand that Southwest routinely asks pilots if they called in sick to make it to the interview. They then call their HR to see if they were telling the truth. They don’t like people who abuse sick time, and check for integrity.
This seems similar. If you are on MIL leave, that time is to perform MIL functions, NOT shop around for a new CIV job.
