How competitive is:

3300 Total
1000 Multi-Engine
1500 turbine PIC
750 Jet
480 Jet PIC ( >12,500lbs, 135 time)

No 121 time, mostly 135 time

Competitive enough to go to a real airline, not this Mickey Mouse operation!

Just curious how this is a Mickey Mouse operation?

Because this is APC and everyone is angry all the time.

Unfortunately it's not enough to get into a "real" airline. The best I could do is a regional, which I'd really prefer not to do. I feel Spirit would be a good fit. Flying is somewhat of a second career for me, so I'm not a super young guy (mid 30's). I wouldn't ever see a major airline until I was 40 or so. I feel if I could get into Spirit, I could bypass the regional game, and go straight into something that would hopefully end up being career stop.

99.9% of us are making it a career... but there are a few “special” ones at every group... our “mickey” ops are getting better everyday

Assuming everyone here is a pilot - no.
We have absolutely no input in the process.

I’m sure you’re a great guy/gal but why should Spirit settle for someone that can’t get on at other majors?
