You’re right, and I think we can all agree that if there’s one thing we can attribute to making aviation as safe as it’s been the past 15 years. It’s that you don’t give the atis information to ramp control when calling for a push.

Actually, I think the change to Notice to Air Missions will be the real difference maker.

And yes, zero ******s should be given about such a trivial thing.

Especially since you were the one called out on it, right? ;)

Abso-f’ing-lutely.

Tell ramp we have Echo, call for clearance on tower, call ops on guard. Tomato, Potato

Any Year-1 or Year-2 folks willing to share real-world (approximate) Year-1 pay at Spirit, please?

In reading upstream comments, I'm familiar with the $1,000/mo training pay. Ditto for the monthly guarantee and the hourly rate. Not to mention that reserve utilization seems to vary a little (or a lot) between domiciles.

Just looking for a realistic ballpark... in terms of what any (if any) soft pay might amount to.

Many thanks in advance!

What is the approximate time you will be on the road/home during the training program? I was told that after indoc you would go home for a week then back to start the sim school. What is the schedule like after that and during OE? Are you essentially on a reserve type schedule during OE? Thanks.

You can't pick up anything on reserve, so the opportunities to make extra money are really luck of the draw until you can hold a line. Just plan on guarantee.

OE will not be reserve type scheduling. You’ll be flying the best trips available that crew train pulls and gives to LCA no matter what their seniority is.

Yes, and instead of getting some repetition of take offs and landings in, flying multi leg days, you’ll be doing 3+ hours in cruise working a blue folder. But don’t worry, the check airman will sign you off and you’ll get landings in with the line pilots
