Hi guys,

I am about to start training soon at Spirit and my buddy that is in new hire class right now said that they have been told the LAX base will be announced this coming Tuesday. Any idea if this will go senior or Junior and if senior how long you think it should take to get it.

Also any details of the new IND, STL, and UIO routes that are being added beginning next year. Thanks guys.

Will IND, STL, and UIO be announced on Tuesday as well?

1 Captain & 2 FOs = $9 fare club to Japan. The 2-3 meals will be pricey.

I know this was tounge and cheek and since you don't work here I'd like those that do to refrain from discussing scope or contract topics.

You have to understand that mgmt trolls the new hires something fierce. There is no current talk of an LAX base and if there was, it would go senior... as others have said.
C-series, contract next week, SW rates, 2 yr upgrade, highest paid Airbus driver per hour due to all the soft time, etc. All rumors.

I thought MCO was the most recent (many months ago) rumor, are we back to LAX again?? Or, are we going backwards through the rumored base list?? MCO->LAX->ATL->PHL->BWI->IAH->MSP.... I’m sure I’m missing a few.... :D

BWI 100% for sure! Close that dead ACY base down. LAX? Got it covered with the LAS base. Management will spew misinformation to further the cause of hiring anyone they can. Ask all the IAH guys that were told IAH would be a base very soon. That was 2+ years ago. :mad:
