Put in an app and will continue to update. Thanks for the replies.

We have many who were hired from Avianca with the same type of background. I don’t think that’s the reason.

Spirit has hired many with a four year degree and mil/121 1000+ TPIC. That makes one "qualified" everywhere. Don't think they're too concerned about flight risk. Makes an interesting interview question no doubt. Spirit actually has the term "juniorosity" in an annual report, or something to that effect. Interesting how a couple of anecdotes can take on a life of their own. Doesn't take long for Spirit to get their money back given first year comp. And a reduction of longevity keeps paying and paying.
