I don’t think it was the jet time. You sounds pretty competitive to me. Maybe you just rubbed someone the wrong way it was and didn’t realize it (it happens). If you really want the job I would say try to get an internal recommendation and if you don’t know anyone at Spirit try jumpseating a few times on us and strike up a conversation. Then try again. Or maybe add something interesting on your resume that makes you stand out (in a good way)
