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?

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

This is a joke by the way, before I get attacked.

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