I have talked with MANY of the returning furloughs and they have all said the training was fine. As a matter of fact, I WAS ONE! These guys are hitting the checkride well prepared.

Thats a decision they made when they signed a CONTRACT to fly in the middle east. Your friend should have considered this if he/she had intentions to come back to Spirit.

The way they run an airline...hmmm, ok. We have made a profit every year during the worst recession since the great depression. So if it takes a "stiff breeze" in FLL to furlough at Spirit, what does it take in ORD to furlough at UAL...
once again, take a look at your own operation before you throw stones. I could type for hours about how mgmt runs things at United. Your CEO has managed to single handedly destroy one of the greatest airlines in the world, so please save me your criticisms of ours.
