Default Question about Spirit

I was at MIA and heard an F/O talking about some dude that was at Eagle on the ATR with about 450 total time and that he got on with Spirit.....I dont know if he was lying or not...anyone know if there is any truth behind this?

Thanks

You may want to do a search--I think there was a lot of discussion here a few months back when Spirit hired some very low-time folks more or less straight out of ERAU. Not sure how it's working out.

I have heard nothing of pilots being hired with that kinda time.....however they did run a class of 12 in January with 8 ERAU kids in it (just graduated top notch best of the best of the best....) apparently there have been some issues with a few of them.

Not a few, just one.

And nothing from Eagle came over with that bunch.

Sounds like one of those, "I know a guy who knows a guy that heard about a friend of his friend...." situations.

Bases are open I got based in ACY. Hoping to get back to FLL sometime soon. 3 went to LGA from our class, 3 to ACY and 1 to FLL. SJU is over staffed for now from what Im told. No hiring for a bit, at a very very conservative estimate would be november at the earliest.
