Spirit Questions
 
Hello, I have some questions regarding Spirit.

1) Is it possible to get FLL right after IOE ?

2) How does Spirit build its trips , is it just like any other airline or does the FLL base have a lot of out & back type trips. I live minutes from FLL and really do not want to spend more than 10 nights a month in a hotel.

3) How long can I expect to be on reserve at FLL

4) How much does the health insurance for a family of 4 cost ?
( Basic plan no frills)



Thanks in advance

1. Maybe. Depends on seniority in class.
2. Don't come then. Most likely you'll do more than 10. I've seen out and back lines before but you can't bank on it. If you interview tell them you can't do more than 10 nights.
3. Depends on growth, never know for sure.
4. Depends on plan you end up choosing, it's not cheap. No insurance for 90 days BTW.

Why in God's name, would you want to even consider this place??
Are you aware of our current managements incompetence? Come on over and you will have a job for about a year....

Is there a training contract like frontier?

No training contract, hotel is paid for. Either of those bases you could have within a few months. All recent new hires start in ACY or FLL.

5 years at NK, still have all my apps updated, no degree.
Go to a regional with flow, or go back to college.
