This is from the exemption:
“Because A4A is a trade association and not a certificate holder, it cannot be granted an exemption from FAA operating requirements. Accordingly, the FAA will grant the relief requested by A4A to its members and all part 119 certificate holders conducting training and qualification under part 121 when requested. To make this exemption effective, each affected certificate holder must submit to the FAA a request in the form of a Letter of Intent to use this exemption and affirm its intentions to comply with the conditions and limitations of this exemption.”
So I guess Spirit just has to request the exemption.
