Do they actually give you priority or a chance to get hired? I’ve read about basically becoming a sim instructor on other major pages on here, however they say at those places it doesn’t help you get hired any faster as a pilot. If Spirt actually gives you a guarantee after those 2 years it doesn’t sound like a bad gig. Better than hanging out at a regional for 2-6 years with only a hope of going to a major right?
