Official:GoJet Pathway to Spirit
New hires must spend two years with GoJet and will have a guaranteed job with Spirit, no interview required. Pilots already on property will need to do a Talent test first and possibly a small interview with a Spirit representative. Captains must spend a year in the left seat before moving on to Spirit under the program. Pilots will go over at FIRST YEAR PAY. Number of pilots initially to "path" to Spirit will initially be under 10 pilots per month.
By 2021 Spirit will have 165 airplanes. Currently Spirit has 1600 pilots for 100 planes. (16 pilots per plane)

I can't see DL and UA being to thrilled when delays/cancellations start to rack up due to lack of crew. Both are looking to get rid of RJs and GoJet is not big for either carrier. GoJet may have just put themselves out of business with this flow. But hey at least you will be at spirit.

Yeah. Don't know if I could stomach $38 an hour first year pay at Spirit. Fo's at GoJet make a hell of a lot more than that with bonuses etc. Feeling kinda torn here. Live in Chicago, have degree and 1000's of hours PIC. Maybe I'll stick it out at G7.

I think the only way I would flow to Spirit would be if I already had a couple thousand hours of TPIC and I had already tried like hell to get hired at a legacy. If nothing was panning out then I would go ahead and flow. If I didn't have my 1,000 121 TPIC or if I hadn't already given it the ole college try to get hired at a legacy then I wouldn't flow. I know a couple CAs over at GoJet now who have told me they most likely aren't going to flow...

Don't take your frustrations with our management out on our fellow aviators. I'm not happy about this attempt to delay or prevent an industry standard contract but I won't attack our fellow airmen. We all came to NK for one reason or another. Welcome the new guys/gals and work on improving your resume to leave NK.
