Spirit Hiring
 
Anyone out there know what a competitive Spirit app looks like? 3K TT, age restricted ATP until July, no degree, no 121, 2600 PIC, and 1200 turbine, perhaps?

Well, it looks like you were not able to see the current Spirt Hiring News thread that is active, 2 threads down. But hey, lets start a new one just for you.

Looks like you haven't bothered to read the Spirit jobs pages where it clearly states "Current UNRESTRICTED ATP"

No pt 121 experience

No degree (but in fairness, you are just old enough to have even been able to achieve one)

Lower TT numbers.

Well, I say you are just what we are looking for. You relentless pursuing of this information leaves me with little doubt you would be highly successful in our accelerated training program

And I know im being a jerk. Its just when you wont even bother to look yourself, you bring it on yourself.

Hey Einstein. Not only is there an entire thread dedicated to this, you'll see pages of us advising people not to waste their time coming here. We are all trying to leave for a reason. Go to a regional and upgrade in a year and go work at a real company

This is not a real company. This is a regional operating airbuses, led by a bunch of individuals who dispise us.

Exactly. So let him go work at a regional not disguised as an Airbus operation. Upgrade in a year and get a job at a real company like United or Southwest

Go to school and get the degree. College isn't for everyone you may need it one day and you don't want to pigeonhole yourself into a place like spirit because you didn't get one.

Don't know why anyone would come to Spirit anymore. Here is a top 10 of why you should not come to Spirit

1. 38.50 = 25k-30k first year pay. Good news is you will qualify for food stamps
2. No insurance for 3 months. Ask the guy that had a brain tumor in training how that went. Never mind, he's dead
3. Pay is half what others are making flying the 320. FO's at majors make more than our CA's
4. No profit sharing when everyone else has it - $$$$$ loss
5. Retirement - Will cost you MILLIONS in retirement alone to come here
6. NO UPGRADE INSIGHT - the 3 year upgrade is over. Guys getting hired right now will have longer upgrades than SWA or any Major
7. Looming Merger with Frontier. Guaranteed to be a mess
8. Looming Strike. Hope you are ready to walk the line. That's the only way we will ever get a raise here.
9. Free High Fives and Smiles?? Thats Spirits version of a bonus.
10. SELF TRAIN for two MONTHS at the FLL Crown Plaza with no clothes washing facilities, but you do get a microwave in your room! Good luck getting home, they wont put you in CASS or give you positive space travel. You are STUCK
11. good luck not getting a pink slip in training. Its self train, but they don't give you what you need to succeed. And good luck with those 4 full motion sims prior to your check ride. Other airlines give you 10+; Spirit = 4. GOOD LUCK, you're going to need it!
12. I know I said top ten but could keep going and going. DO NOT COME HERE

Yeah about 6 months ago. The tumor came back. I'm still bitter how the company handled the situation. Basically fired him and washed their hands. We have a great pilot group that did a lot to help his family out, but as far as I know SPIT WINGS did nothing!
