I do have a few question regarding my app: first I have a couple busted check rides and a couple speeding tickets all of which happened well over two years ago so im not worried but how should I get around telling the board i dont have any

Also I was flying part 91 on the side while at silver to supplement income which ultimately led to me not being home much which ultimately lead to me getting divorced which ultimately is why I’m just getting back in my feet but to my point I was flying 91 and we crossed an active in lakeland the other day and now ive got a pending letter. nothing should come of it but theres no way a chief doing an interview would know this right? Unless he is buds with that rat bastard in the klal tower

I’m looking forward to joining spirit it hasn’t always been my goal but it is now and I am very grateful to be headed to training in fll in a few months any idea what base is easiest to commute out of gnv?

Drive to MCO easiest option by far. Tell them everything in interview, including the LAL thing. They find out after the fact you could get the boot half way through training for being less than fully honest

I don’t say too much on here but I’m sorry, I have to respond to this. Multiple check ride failures and speeding tickets that you don’t want to admit too in an interview and a pending violation you received while at the minimum breaking a company policy and probably breaking other FAR’s involving rest and duty, I hope you never set foot in a Spirit cockpit.

I was wondering what time frame were looking at. Little background in cutrently at silver flying some trips been with a couple other regionals. Am also being considered by Frontier now with their big contract. I have a hot pan on the Moxy table too but that’s a while away but man I really missed the boat not getting on with spirit back in the day. How senior would I be if I was hired in spring of 2016? Like 40% captain in FLL? Anyways just looking for some tips on what I could do I’ve gotta get out of silver and it seems without a degree the legacies won’t touch me. I’m working on one with Everglades it’s taking time but I’ll have it soon then I will take calls from legacy but for now I need to get somewhere. I was talking w some frontier guys on there board and they told me the bus would be an easy plane to fly even though I was worried it seems they calmed me down and I could learn it. I interveiwed with that Chief pilot in FLL that blinked a lot probably a nervous twitch

Hey, we all deserve second chances. Life happens.

I was involved in hiring at a previous airline. I would think Spirit has the same philosophy. Hiding something = automatic no. Being honest about everything and explaining how you learned from it is a good thing.

Thank you john Vito I look forward to flying with you

I’ve come across a lot of good guys at spirit some not so good but I dont let the bad guys ruin it for me we’ve got our own rotten eggs at silver. Their is about 30-40 guys no one wants to fly with. I’ve got 8 letters of rec at spirit I hope it’ll help my chances. Got the foot in the door just gotta keep it open so I can get all the way onto property haha

I'll say this, I know guys with fewer busts, letters and tickets that were not hired. Maybe pre-contract you would have had a shot, but I'd be surprised, unless of course you're related to Ted, pasta Bob or Sandie(y). Are you?

What kind of knucklehead goes ahead an says these very specific details about their background on a forum that Spirit management knowingly follows very closely? The title of this thread should be “I don’t work at Spirit but if I wanted to make sure I didn’t, this is how I would do it.”

Man, take it from a person who’s been to 3 airlines and multiple airline interviews. You disclose everything!! Even when they ask you if you have anything else to disclose. They will pull your PRIA, and background check any discrepancy you will get the axe in training (happened to me over an undisclosed PRIA issue). Honestly, I don’t know how you got a call if you have a check ride bust about 2 years ago, because on the spirit App online in your profile you’re suppose to disclose them and violations (pending as well) on your spirit profile... please fix your issues and save your troubles.

First off I doubt any management is on these forums if they are then I think they need to disperce there attention elsewhere like customer service. Secondly ive talked with emerald and I’m confident I can work around the checkride fails if I come clean. One of them happened over 7 years ago because the examiner didn’t like the rolling mag check I did to save time but given the opportunity to explain to spirit I’m sure they’d like the story because it shows i can save the company long term. Second one was a little more cut and dry but one bust isnt bad considering spirit has a high wash out rate of training anyways

You are clueless if you don’t think they read these forums. Check out the 2017 TRO. Besides, why would you want to work here after insulting the pilot group with this:

You heard it here first folks, management doesn’t read these forums. Phewwww, that was a close one.

I wonder who has the most post that have been used?

I was being sarcastic. You would think by now everyone would know that management reads or gets told about this board when they need to. But apparently not. And even though I know that this James white guy is probably a troll, I’m not risking it. I’ve called and made sure they are watching for certain Silver guys. Shouldn’t be too difficult, even if he talks twice as good as he writes, he still probably sounds like he has a dick in his mouth.
