Even if you don’t get an interview, it will at least show persistence. There are a lot of well qualified candidates who haven’t gotten a phone call, so anything extra you can do will certainly help.

I'd probably wait till you have the time and go to a MTC after 6 months wait period with a fresh resume.

Just emailed to try and get an invite to a meet the chiefs event and was told to wait until at least 2500 hours. I wanted to respond that a majority of my time is fighters but didn’t want to make a big deal of it. My app still says under review, surprised I haven’t seen a TBNT based off the response for the meet the chiefs email. It would be hilarious if I got an interview invite after getting turned down to meet the chiefs!

I'm no expert, but to fly fighters you generally have a Master's degree and a helluva GPA to get that slot? Shame that doesn't count for extra credit on our scale. Not to mention the training and team building and life experience you get from your years of military service.
Good luck to you!

Also don't put too much faith in that app still being under review message. Despite all the griping on APC from the angriest 10%, most of us are pretty happy at Spirit. But the one gripe about Spirit that can't be denied, our IT department is awful!

it is generally accepted to add .3 per sortie we fly because the military doesn’t start counting till T/O to LDG. I did that for my flight times and Spirit had no issues with it. Goodluck!

It never hurts to ask! The recruiter had the hiring panel take a look at my app and was able to get me a Meet the Chiefs invite. Unfortunately I'll be unable to attend since my flight schedule just got changed and its smack dab in the middle of a mil exercise week.
I was very impressed with how quick and professional the responses were and the fact I got a response at all.
The hiring panel informed the recruiter that I had enough multi-engine TPIC (fighter, ~1250) to receive an invite. So for any mil guys that are low on TT - Don't let that keep you from trying to go to Spirit!
