Latest hiring update for 2019 per training slide in FLL

270 new hires

135 upgrades

At our current rate let me call it first, 50 Captains for 2019!

Is Spirit properly staffed for this summer
 

You realize that if these numbers were true (which I highly doubt) starting in May they would have to upgrade 16 a month for the rest of the year and have 33 new hires a month. I just don’t see that at all.

You realize we had 40+ a month last spring right?

I'd bet the "brain trust" in Miramar is banking on PBS and all those wonderful productivity gains it's going to spit out shortly. Why hire and upgrade? Don't need it. I guess time will tell. News Flash! Fast upgrades are officially over at Spirit! :D

It's easily doable, they're just going to need to get it going by the June or July bid. We were upgrading 24 a month until last June.

Where will the productivity gains come from? we already pay for our vacation via vacation bank, we have no transition conflict and training is done NOT BY SENIORITY order and done AFTER THE BID IS AWARDED aka no training drops..

There is nearly zero productivity gains to be had via pbs. The company is in for a big shock.

I agree 100%. “X List” fiesta all summer long!!!

I totally agree with your statement! Bendo clearly doesn't listen. Navblue told him Spirit needs 300+ aircraft to see gains from PBS. He claimed he didn't know that information. Really??? Surprise!!

This is HILARIOUS!
