Yeah I'm worried that I'm gonna get a TBNT email or something if I do that and end up shooting myself in the foot because I don't meet the mins.. :(

DOH was March of this year. But I'm sure there was a bump in App's after the AIP came out, which would have been prior to his interview date. Solid pilot nonetheless.

considering TBNT's are generally 1 year to reapply, do you really think you'll hit 3k within a year? If you're not really close to the 3k mark, you have nothing to lose by trying; either way it's still going to take you at least a year to bump yourself up from 2k to 3k.

That's actually a super solid point... Thanks I appreciate it!

Anyone received any TBNTs or interview requests from the latest round of MTCs?

I think the idea is not until after the holiday..

I got a TBNT about a week after attending. 5ktt, 1,500tpic. Very little jet time, but I was a bit surprised to not be considered. Ah, well.

Which location did you attend?

I went to the one in Atlanta.

Was your TPIC Multiengine? Any internal recs?

You were considered, just not hired.

Maybe go to a regional, get some more time and try next year?

Which session were you in? I was 12pm

No internals. All my professional flying time is multi turbine. Currently flying at a 121 carrier with multiple jet type ratings.

And no, I won’t be taking a 50k+ pay cut to go to a regional to “get some more time”. Spirit seems like a great place to hang your hat, and I’ll certainly try again a year from now. But if flying for a regional is a prerequisite, I guess I’m out of the running.

It’s always hard to tell with these things. Whether it’s a personality thing, a question of experience, an error on an application, or just not what they’re looking for in an applicant. Just the way it goes, I suppose.

You have very little jet time, but are flying at a 121 carrier and have multiple jet type ratings?

Maybe there's your problem?

You're at Empire or Silver? I think those are the only places where you can have the experience you have?

My airline added a new fleet and a bunch of us bid over to the new aircraft. I was on the previous aircraft for about a year before bidding to my current airplane. Same airline. No training failures. Flew the previous bird for about 300 hours before I moved to the new jet.

Has anyone else heard back?

Atlanta Meet the Chiefs
 

I was at the Atlanta Meet the Chiefs. About 5kTT. Mostly Jet PIC/SIC. Mostly corporate experience with some 121 and an A-320 type. Excellent presentation put on by Spirit. Haven’t heard anything yet.

Sounds like piedmont or horizon. Why are you hiding where you work? The guys here are trying to give you positive suggestions, not belittle your experience.

Nah, I’m a 767 cargo guy. Most of my time is in a Beech 1900 flying cargo and pax. Just started my 121 gig about a year and a half ago. I’d bet that a lack of jet time probably didn’t help, but I had hoped that international experience and some TPIC would make me competitive. I have the luxury of already being at a decent paying job. It just isn’t where I want to spend my career.

I don’t think it was the jet time. You sounds pretty competitive to me. Maybe you just rubbed someone the wrong way it was and didn’t realize it (it happens). If you really want the job I would say try to get an internal recommendation and if you don’t know anyone at Spirit try jumpseating a few times on us and strike up a conversation. Then try again. Or maybe add something interesting on your resume that makes you stand out (in a good way)

have they actually started contacting anyone ? i dont think so.... or ?

See my post on page 7 of this thread.

Are the NAC pay rates accurate on the airline profile page.
If so, they sure have not kept up with the times.

Nobody else here or on RST Spirit has heard anything. Maybe he got called coincidentally about the time he went? It feels a little too “my friend’s brother’s old flight instructor’s roommate got a call right after!” Not that I doubt he was contacted, only that when it comes to this stuff, it’s better when a poster can personally attest to being directly contacted himself.

Another guy on Facebook mentioned getting contacted three weeks after the previous MTC, so that might suggest a similar timeline here.

Well, he asked me to submit his resume, which I did. About a week later he submitted his request for MTC's. Three days after his MTC session he was called in for an interview. He's already interviewed just waiting for a response. Seems to me these days they filter applicants through the MTC process. But I'm not involved in that process so I can't be 100%.

You’re probably right, honestly. It’s too bad, because from what I’ve seen jumpseating around with Spirit, it would be exactly the kind of place I’d love to work. Mission focused and fun. It’s hard to hear you may have come off the wrong way, but a little humble pie is good for everyone now and then.

Is it one year before someone can reapply after TBNT email?

I'm no fun at all whatsoever.

I’m on many no fly lists. The antithesis of fun.

The only person who likes flying with me is myself....

I can't even claim that.

OUCH! Must really be a bummer to fly with you then... :D;)

Aside from their in house events, anyone know if they will be at ngpa in February ??

Check the NGPA website. The answer which you seek lies before you with a few clicks of a mouse.

Depending on how I interpreted their site, I don’t think ngpa has that data published yet, or you can’t see the list until you register.

As of 4 December 2018, Spirit Airlines will attend the NGPA event on 8 February 2019. You are welcome.

Thanks buddy! I must have not clicked around enough.

Got a call from a friend today and he was just offered a job this afternoon and it's for a April 2019 class date! Hum.....

They're telling folks in interviews (at least those from Nov) that they're hiring into a pool with about a 4-5 month wait

Surprised there aren’t more early spring class dates to get people trained and on line prior to summer starting.

Do you know his quals and stats, roughly? Or when he interviewed?
