If you need R-ATP for GoJet, you're already a majority of the way to Spirit mins.
Exactly.

There is only evidence of 1 actual flow to Spirit. The pilots don’t receive any information of who is flowing or when. The Spirit flow is just a recruiting tool (lie) that doesn’t actually work. No one is getting to flow.

Although G7 pilots who had interviews scheduled with Spirit have had those interviews cancelled because of the flow.

If you think you might want to work for Spirit the you need to avoid GoJet. The flow is a lie, but you won’t be hired outside of it.

What a kick in the pants. Guys that wanted a job losing their opportunity to start sooner since they have a flow agreement.

Seniority is everything. Just like the GoJet recruiter said with one of the opening posts - the goal is to be at a regional for a short time, then at your career airline as long as possible.

This is an incomplete list of pilots that have taken advantage of the pathway program. I am not provided with information on pilots pending or deferring. I also am unable to determine the first couple pilots that made the move because we didn't differentiate between spirit hires and spirit pathway in the beginning of the program.

Employee numbers range from 708XX to 753XX

3 ORD CA'S
2 DEN CA'S
2 STL FO'S
1 DTW CA

I am told the number is actually 11 that have made the move if that reflects directly to the list we are provided with you can tack on these positions.

DEN CA
2 DTW CA'S

All three fall into the seniority range listed above.

I'm working to improve the internal reporting of this program. Please have patience.

Here’s an incomplete list of the color of my unicorn farts

3 magenta
2 red
4 cyan

Until the company publishes an actual and factual list of flows then the information you posted is about as useful as the information I posted.

When/IF that happens I’ll be happy to retract my statements.

In the meantime. Even IF your numbers are real. That’s 3 flows per month. If only 50% of the pilots on property desire to flow (approximately 250) that’s still a 7 year flow to Spirit Airlines (not even a legacy) with no possibility of being hired outside of the flow.

Please explain to our potential recruits why they should pass up the opportunity to make more money at Endeavor , upgrade in the same amount of time (at an airline with an actual upgrade training program, and not be forced to fly in the right seat after upgrade) and still have the opportunity to be hired at Spirit years before the mythical flow.

People can be patient, but in an environment where everyone wants to get to their career airline as quickly as possible you're going to have to move faster.

When the tempo is quick, you either keep up or skip a beat.

Isn't Endeavor merely an interview with not actual commitment to hire anyone?

Ok. My mistake.

Please explain to our potential recruits why they should pass up the opportunity to make more money at *almost any other regional* , upgrade in the same amount of time (at an airline with an actual upgrade training program, and not be forced to fly in the right seat after upgrade) and still have the opportunity to be hired at Spirit years before the mythical flow, *while waiting for a possible flow or interview at a legacy airline*

When you successfully pass the test you pick a class date with spirit no earlier than your 24 month anniversary.

Pilots who were on property when the agreement was signed will have to additionally interview at Spirit because we changed our interview process when we signed with Spirit.
Ok, so what you are saying is that it's not a flow, it's a guaranteed interview-esque thing, where the interview is replaced with a "talent assessment test"? Bit like United/UPS/JetBlue etc Hogan test I presume?

Geez....A bit salty, aren't we? Like Jason said, a regional is really just a stepping stone to get your time and hopefully move on to a major carrier. With the amount of new hires annually, versus how many pilots they keep on property, it seems like G7 is a good place to get your time and move on. Is it all sunshine and rainbows at G7? No, but the same can be said for ALL the other regionals.

Yes a regional is a stepping stone, but which one would you like to be stuck at should there be another 2008?

All regionals have their problems, but Mesa, GoJet and TSA seem to have more problems than others.
