Despite anyones feelings about people taking military leave, the USERRA specifically states you can not discriminate during the initial hiring process for someones military status. So what Sandi did was 100% illegal.

My friend was very upset and wanted to spend his career at Spirit. After the experience he has moved on and wants to work for a company that wants him to be there. Don't worry he not trying to file a complaint or sue, he is just disappointed in Spirit. He is a better man than me. I would have at least filed a complaint with the ESGR.

If you work at Spirit and don't believe this story than call Sandi and ask her for yourself.
