The money they pay those guys is ridiculous. Now it’s a no brainer. Haven’t had any issues with any of them. Only a little slow on the radio on the ground in places like lax or ord but that’ll get better with time. Great guys.



The FO I flew with said there was a certain amount of pride that came with flying for your home country’s airline. Also said he kept hoping it would get better and commuting from Columbia to FLL didn’t seem like a great option at the time but now that he’s here he wishes he would have done it a long time ago. He was a 320 captain over there.

Also the cost of living it’s really cheap.

If Spirit is still in growth mode, turbine/complex/high performance instructor time and especially check airman time could get you noticed. A couple years ago they were looking for new hires who could comfortably move into FO instructor slots and later on be full up check airmen, and I don't think things have changed all that much in 2 years.

Get in front of a chief pilot (job fair, whatever) and explain why you'll be an asset to the company and not just there to get a type rating while waiting for a legacy to call.

It's good. Good people, comfortable friendly atmosphere, seems like people pull together to get stuff done without it getting grumpy. Nothing's perfect but I'm happy here.
