Default Spirit low tier pilots

Hey guys,

On behalf of Robert, Jyri and myself, I'd like to invite all pilots with low self esteem to apply at Spirit. If you fall into one of the following categories, we'd love to hear from you:

Consider yourself "good enough".
Like not seeing your family for at least 4 weeks during training.
Feel that a quick upgrade (5+ years) is worth it.
Enjoy being valued by flight ops management.
Like having flight ops management visit recurrent, mock other airlines and mimic inserting vegetables into his posterior.
Like avoiding eye contact with other airline pilots.
Like avoiding eye contact with passengers.
Like to rationalize your decision to join a particular employee group.
Unable to read a balance sheet.
Like propaganda.
Gullible (see above).
Feel that having regrets in life is actually healthy.

If you feel that you fit any of the above descriptions, we'd love for you to attempt to fill out our online app and pay money to come to one of our awesome "schmooze fests".

High five guys!!

Don't forget! If you love being on time 50% of the time 100% of the time. Apply to this [graham cracker]hole!

If you want your pay shorted apply here!

If you want to work for the Worst Ceo of 2010 (and soon to be 2016) apply here!

If you want Comair Execs who love to give free high fives! Apply here!

If you want Eagle & VA rejects who love to discuss shoving cucumbers up his ass to recurrent ground school apply here!

If you want to wait 8 hrs for an electronic trade to get denied apply here!



If you want to make $20,000 your first year apply here!

If you want to do red eyes to third world countries in and out of FLL & IAH, apply here!

If you want to work for an airline with the greatest "slope" in the industry, get on over here!

If you love deadheading 2-3 legs on day one and day 6 of a RSV assignment, apply here!

If you want emails EVERY SINGLE holiday from the guy who likes to insert vegetables up his anus begging you to cover the open "accoutrements" because they can't staff properly, apply here!


If you want to learn to fly an Airbus by someone who's never seen the airplane on a trainer that doesn't work appopplllllyyyyyyyyyyyy here!


And for the record, the only "Low Tier" employee at this place is upper management. If we flew airplanes like they run this place, there would be smoking holes all over North America.

Are you guys pretty confident that it can be fixed, at least mostly fixed? Or is there a greater sense that all hope is lost?

Anything can be fixed its just the time & work required. I'll battle it out here as long as I'm here but I'm a CA and update my apps every day

Well, we have a CEO that has zero interest in any employee at NKS. Bob's public comment was that we are a lower tier airline, below JetBlue. Our VP of Flt Ops thinks we are not equal to our peers at other airlines operating the same or similar a/c, even though we are much more productive than any legacy and on par with SW.
We have a battle ahead of us here, many are trying to leave, but 99% are willing to walk if it comes to that.

You might have just put your finger on any pilot group's Achilles heel. Namely, the personal cost required to fix a place is weighed individually by every pilot against the personal cost required to just leave and go to a better place. This likely results in a collective apathy that companies take full advantage of.

Disheartening. The deck is stacked at so many levels.
