The last I heard it was 60 days till announcement which corresponds to around June like you said. It has been a couple of weeks since I heard that though and the pace of things changing has been amazing so unless anyone has newer info from the new class...

What places did Spirit jump in on.

Biggest one I can name is CLE. Don't forget about our obvious look at ATL. DAL saw it coming way too early and bought all the gates we were trying to get, but one. (We got gate blocked.) The big thing I always say... Don't tell me what the move will be in the future.... Tell me what move we are making now (or even better, last week). That is the competitive advantage at any company. They don't need my opinion and I don't want to give it. I just want them to make the smart decisions that keep me having a good career for many years to come.

Once Frontier announced some flying in ATL (one of the possible bases)...

Growing Spirit up to 15 nonstop routes in Atlanta; 12 at LAX

From a big horses mouth today. New base to open September / October. New hire classes of 20-24 every month indefinitely.

A few data points for triangulation purposes.

• A Silver Bullet was submitted 3/12, individual did NOT attend any job fair, was invited yesterday to interview on 5/14.

• An average internal rec (non-silver bullet) was submitted 4/22, individual also attended Vegas job fair on 4/23, was invited this morning to interview for 6/16.

Best of luck guys!

Not trying to start an argument, but when Franke left Spirit, he also left with the knowledge of Spirits future growth. I don't think Spirit is copying Frontier as much as we are both operating from the same playbook now.

Does every pilot on seniority list receive a silver bullet to give out? How and when are they handed out?
