Spirit Expansion
 

Excuse the new guy questions but, so far everyone has provided thoughtful and clear responses, so thank you for that.

New question: in my research so far, it appears that Spirit is purchasing approximately 50(+-)new aircraft.

Is that still accurate?

If so, is this an expansion of the fleet or replacement aircraft?

My simple math says, and it’s a generic SWAG, an aircraft needs about 10-16 pilots per to operate. Is Spirit expanding that big now?

Guess what I’m getting at is, sounds like a great time to get onboard and ride the seniority wave......or, is the future not as bright as it appears to me?

Thanks for entertaining my ignorant questions. Trying to figure it all out.

We will have 145 by the end of this year, and 193 by the end of 2021. There’s an order for 100 that will run 2021-2027 with an option of 50. I might be a year or 2 off with those numbers. I believe these are all growth with no replacement. My suggestion is to apply, try to get an interview and see if this place is right for you.

I'll add that we don't have enough aircraft coming for 2020 and 2021 to hit the growth percentage they want. They are looking for another 24 or so airframes.

Good point, I forgot to mention that.

Anyone care to share how long it’s looking to go from DOH to holding MCO?

Immediate right now worse case probably a couple months.

Base on the latest vacancy. You’ll probably get it by the time you finish training

I started end of August. November - ACY, December - ORD, January - MCO

Thank you for the quick and thoughtful reply. All good news.

I applied a few weeks ago and have a phone interview in a couple days. Thanks for the encouragement.
