Recency of experience question
 

Military pilot with 8,000+ hours in C-130 and C-7. IP/EP in both aircraft. ATP, CFI and class I. However, been stuck on the staff for 5 years now without professional flying. How bad a problem for Spirit?

try to get on with a regional for 6mo-1yr, greatly improve your chances.

There is no need to waste 6-12 months at a regional, just make it through their training, OE and then throw your apps out , Swartz. You'll be fine.

Hiring 400 next year, 19 airplanes (or more) coming between now and the end of 2019.

Best of luck!

And upgrading 4 a month, new hire will only be in the right seat for 25 years.
This is a joke by the way, before I get attacked.

You have good reason to believe that, but the rumor is 200 upgrades next year.

The reality is it's all rumor until it's on the ramp and your butt's in the seat. 😉

I hope that’s true, seems like every instructor I talk to has been saying it will pick up next month, but that’s only since June so......

Holy Catfish, you flew the Caribou? When and where?

If next month is Nov or Dec you will not see a pick up. 100% for sure. Dec is 4 Captains that's it! We are fat on the left seat.

If you haven't flown in 5 years you have very little chance. I'd say 0%. You aren't an active Pilot. You resume isn't what we're looking for. UAL maybe? :eek:

The grid disagrees with you

Apply and let them decide for themselves.
