Yes, short written test, questions from the ATP bank. 11 people, 9 were from regionals one or two were CA I believe, 1 prior military pilot, and 1 doing gov contract flying. Ages ranging from 21yr old to 45yr old. Guessing between 2k-6k hours across the board.

Wanted to know y’all’s honest opinion…

Spirit if you want flexibility to not work.
Frontier if you want flexibility to work.

When you have a 5am report time on a Saturday or Sunday morning, that drive time matters. When you come in on a redeye and you are tired AF, that drive time matters.

Spirit and Frontier are more the same than different.

Has anyone received the Outmatch/or any communication from F9 since the app window closed?

What a ULCC juggernaut that’d be and it might just attract new hires and slow attrition. The idea of it is more appealing now than ever.

Damn. Nailed that.

I think we do merge with Spirit someday, but I don't think it's imminent.

There would be benefits and economies of scale to a merger in addition to them not needing to compete

Haha, well that didn't age particularly well.

Well, I mean it wasn’t too imminent. Only happened one day later, not like it was the same afternoon or anything.
