Competitive Hiring Flight Times
Hey everybody, I was hoping to get a bit of guidance to help maximize my competitiveness for Spirit. I'm currently flying as a Challenger 300 captain for a part 91 company and flying only around 250 hours/year and all of my experience is Part 91. Current credentials:
Total Time - 3350
Total Turbine - 2750
Turbine PIC - 1750
3 type ratings, OBAP job fair meet and greet, no degree
If I'm not in the mix now, my current job isn't expediting the process. So I figure that I have three different options. Which option would expedite my competitiveness with Spirit?
1. Part 135 PIC
2. Part 121 SIC
3. Finishing my degree by May 2019 (staying at current job while I finish)
Total Time - 3350
Total Turbine - 2750

Could be a lot of corporate flight departments reside in southern Florida (as well as the 135 operators). Not many decent options for a southern Florida base for junior guys to walk into. Spirit is pretty attractive in that regard.

Those same personal reasons you had which made you vote no? The folks trying to get on at Spirit are coming or attempting to get on for their own personal reasons.
