Honest question, why apply to Spirit now vs the pre pandemic windows when we were hiring?
Not trying to bust chops but if I were screening applications, anyone who was applying pre pandemic would get a leg up on those now. Spirit has always made it clear it wants people who want to be here, not just when it’s convenient.
Again, not trying to attack you. Just wondering how many in this new stack are from people who now realize Spirit might be a great career option
Believe it or not I had a plan to apply to Spirit first quarter 2020 because I had just finished my 1,000 hours of 121 PIC since you never know how long it'll be until you get the chance to upgrade again. Unfortunately Covid happened, and myself and most of the industry went from trying to move on, to hoping to just stay employed. I don't begrudge Spirit hiring those who had apps in longer than me first, in fact I'd be concerned if they didn't.
So yeah I applied as soon as the application window opened up again, because I have been convinced Spirit is the airline I'd like to retire from at the end of my career for several years now.
Try not to begrudge me for my poor timing, and bad luck. Although over this last year I've been lucky enough to avoid a furlough which is certainly something.
