There was but from what we have been told it has been put off. I think they want to get LAS up and running before we move onto another base.

Then the union rep guy accused me of planning on leaving for CAL because I lived 15 minutes from Newark, I actually lived 2.5 hours from Newark. It was the most hostile interview I've ever been to and left thinking that I didn't want the job. It worked out because they hired 1 out of 10 that day. Their layoffs began a few months later, so thank you for rejecting me! I'm in a good spot now it's all good. Anyone else have that kind of experience?
When was this...it's news to me

My interview was about the same time and was nothing like this at all. Not that I am saying it couldn't be that way, but I have heard our interview process is one of the most laid back there is.

Look on the bright side...at least the ground school "used to be held" in an old abortion clinic w/ security bars on 8 mile road. The sign in DTW read... FLY SP IT. Those were the days. Good luck at UCAL, I hear things are going well there!

Is PO still the CP? How about the ACP? PM me if you need to. (Sounds like a phrase from Get Smart...wow that is dating me...lol.. )
Thanks

PO, like all Spirit pilots on the seniority list, choose to honor the picket line in 2010 (so proud to say that!). Spirit's MEC defined 'struck work' as office work too, so PO would have had to cross to remain a management pilot. He didn't burn all his bridges, though, so, I'd still reach out to him if he's connected to you, but wouldn't address a cover letter to him anymore.

Current CP is RD (former Virgin management pilot), and ACP is CG (Spirit line scum in his prior life).

I am hoping to get interview soon as I sure there are many.

I have a couple questions if any one can answer. When you are offered a pilot postion and your in class on day one how does the company "Spirit" set the newbies in there seniority, age, ssn, etc?

Is DTW a very senior base or pretty easy to hold?

DTW is senior. Very senior. Some new hires in the past year have been able to hold it but will be on RSV for a long time. That would have been easy to find with a quick search. All of our threads have had the question asked more than once.

Seniority used to be DOB if I remember correctly. Don't know if its changed, maybe a new hire can get on and confirm or correct that.
