Im just curious for those regional FO's Are you planning on retiring there or is it a steeping stone for something bigger. or just a free ATP with a type?


Hey Short Bus Drive

good luck in MSP unless you just added flights to there and if you did my commute from FLL just got easier. doubt it though

Exactly my thought...I live in FLL and although I'm probably year away from those times it doesnt hurt to start thinking about it.

I am at least a year away from those hourly minimums. However, I think I am going to attempt to get invited to the SJU job fair. I'll call someone if need be. If they are hiring 300 hour recent ERAU grads, I don't see any reason I couldn't figure smething out

Filled out the online application about a week ago. Got the standard reply. How long generally until the call?

I think it took about 2 weeks until I got the expanded version of the app. Filled it out and haven't heard a peep since...BTW that was in the middle of Dec.

A word of advice for those who recieved a job offer from Spirit. Do not quit your job until your background check is fully completed. Even though I completely disclosed an issue that happen to me over 10 years ago Spirit found it necessary to rescind their job offer. The issue was completely disclosed in the interview and I have no criminal convictions or training failures. So be careful and do not quit your job until background is fully completed. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's a pretty crappy deal. Good luck.

I thought so. After I was informed I called and emailed the director of recruiting several times with no response.

That happened to a guy that I interviewed with as well. He disclosed something that had happened over 20 years ago when he was a minor.

He was unable to get his old job back; go figure.

Lucky for him he found another 744 capt job and is probably better off then had he gone to NK.
