About the process
 

First of all thanks for your attention. I want to know if someone can help me with information about the process of been hired. Sim, test, med exams etc. Also I’ve been living abroad working and studying for a while , i have a 4 and a half years degree on international affairs (of course from a foreign university), should this be a problem on their preferences? Do i have a good chance to get hired? Many thanks .

No sim or company medical exam. Just an interview if you can get one. They hire a lot of Avianca guys with similar qualifications so I’m going to say that yes you have a good chance. Especially if you have some internal recommendations.

Thanks so much Trojan , lol how do you knew I work for Avianca?

Educated guess. The last FO I worked with was from Avianca.

I've heard that our Avianca hires have been solid guys. Glad they landed on their feet.

If you private message me I can put you in contact with an Avianca FO that is working here.

Glad to hear that, and happy to see that we have other good opportunities out there. After the strike last year we did not get to much at this point ,and all legal front take long time in Colombia. :)

Avianca guys are awesome!!! Keep em comin!

Agreed. Even under our old contract I have no idea why anyone would work at a South American carrier if they have a legal right to work in the United States. 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.

2 words....Colombian Women:D

😂😂 it doesn’t take much to know. I knew from the moment I read 320 and 330 SIC. Same here... and still waiting the call

Ain’t that the truth!

Also the cost of living it’s really cheap.

How to get an interview with these folks? thanks

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.

Double......... post

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.

That’s the reason I love me some Spirit. I don’t want to “pull together” to get stuff done. I want to do my job and expect others to do theirs. If they don’t do their job, I’ll sit and enjoy my coffee. This isn’t the military, it’s a job. We are “labor” in management’s view and “labor” does their job and that’s it!

Glad SWA still has that “Whoaa Team!” School pride for those who need it
