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

I feel your pain. That lovely outfit Eagle did that to me back in '98.
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.

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?
