I have had nothing but problems trying to get past the first page of work history. It never gets to an ending screen, just keeps going and going. Basically all I've been able to do is get my current job on there 4 times. Can't update it at all.

I went to OBAP specifically to meet with Spirit and spoke with the recruiter and gave her a resume (forgot her name if you can remind me).

She told me you have to have an updated browser, etc. I've tried different browsers, all updated, with no success. So I am wondering if the messed up online app is keeping me from getting called? It does show me to have an app in the system.

I also attended OBAP in August. Met a Captain there who seemed pretty awesome. Former Navy non-flier who did it all on his own. Very nice guy.

I have been flying for a regional for a few months after a VERY long hiatus from flying after 9/11. The female recruiter (remind me of her name, please) seemed a little hesitant with my low recent time.

I really think Spirit is a great company for me long-term. Prior military fixed-wing, about 2200TT, 1000 Part 121, 500 121 PIC. Almost all multi-turbine, 4-year degree.

I hope they don't view me as a flight-risk, as I have no misgivings about ever making it to widebody captain in the time I have left in the industry, about 15 years. I am a NB guy for life and would love to be at Spirt, especially living in one of the bases.

If anyone can put me in touch with the recruiter or that Captain I met, I would very grateful.
keep trying and keep flying, you are fairly low time. Although some have been hired as low as you the avg TT is probably closer to 4000-6000tt
