I do find it funny that people think Sandi is a sleuth at sniffing out people who don’t want to be at Spirit for their entire career. Really? A recent poster in these Spirit forums mentioned how every FO he used to fly with was looking at moving on, maybe less so after the contract, and certainly less so after the affects of Covid long term. Ok, that’s just one anecdote, but we also hired a 23 year old kid in the fall of ‘19 that called out sick during sims to attend a Delta interview and subsequently left. That’s the extreme, but certainly not the only one that has left in recent years.
That said, I’m not saying Sandi is bad at her job, far from it. I just suggest retention prospect is not, nor should it be, the bar by which she’s measured. She wants people who want to be here, a happy employee is a good employee, they usually give more effort and successful in initial training, they do their job with more passion, treat the customers better, work to advance company initiatives, and are less problematic employees for the CP’s and HR. I’d say she’s excellent at sniffing those people out, if they stay until they retire that’s just a by product of the type of person she’s looking for. My advice, do your research, believe in the Spirit model and make her believe it and you’ll do fine in the interview.
