What is up with the App it told me I had to select a "written exam" like FEX FEB FEJ...it wouldn't let me submit till I selected one, even though I don't have any of them and it wasn'ta posted requirement. Anyone have this problem? I just selected on and will explain if they ever call

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 feel your pain. That lovely outfit Eagle did that to me back in '98.:mad:
It happens!!!!

No it just doesn't just happen. I don't know what careerpilot had in his background. I do know he is entitled to explain himself to Spirit. Not returning phone calls is like a 15 year girl. Sounds pretty pathetic to me of the hiring dept.

Uhmmm, sorry , it does. It's right there in the application, where you sign your name and say they can hire/fire you with/without 'cause.
It's happened to quite a few folks. YOU'RE HIRED!!! Oh wait, no you're not!
WHY? We can't tell you.
Been there, got the T-shirt. It STINKS!!!
Just gave my 2 weeks today, and UAL still hasn't "fininshed" the background checks. Actually, they don't even do it, it's outsourced. Hopefully it doesn't happen here.
Sweating it out.:D

Spirit guys and gals, I'm starting initial training soon and just wondering what the dress code is as it's my first 121 job. I think the folks I saw were trainees and in business casual but want to be sure. Also anything that I might need at training which I might not have already thought of? Thanks...

Congrat's on the new job. I am trying to get on there as well.

How long did the hiring process take for you? Did you have an internal rec?

business casual works.....

If I remember correctly, Friday you can wear jeans: I'm sure Brian and/or Chris will chime in soon and let you know?;)
