That makes sense, when they called to offer the job I was told to expect July.

2 Heads up games I know

The first, It’s pretty filthy. It involves at least 6 people, 12 feet of chicken wire, a 12 piece extra crispy from KFC, (original recipe could work), and a gallon of neon body paint.

The second is calling classmates to tell them you got an offer of employment, giving them the heads up for a call.

So they played either one of these

Is that common? What's the success rate?

No idea, however I do think it’s your job to lose once you get the interview. They made it pretty clear they want to hire everyone.

Phone Call

Got the phone call a couple days ago and heading to Florida at the end of the month. Looking at all the normal places for gouges and think I should be pretty set, but I welcome any other current info. Thanks

Don’t be a d-bag... they’ve done an above average job of keeping them off of our list...your essentially pledging a fraternity...enjoy the experience

Guaranteed to get a D bag or 2, just the nature of the game. Fortunately, I'd like to think that I am not one. I'll be putting in a 110% in and hope to see most of you in the cockpit!

I know you’ve heard this before but just be yourself. The people doing the hiring are good people. Crack a joke, relax as much as you can, and you’ll do fine. Spirit does a good job of removing the stress that other airlines add to their interview process. You’re not going to lose the job because you wore the wrong color tie or sat in the wrong chair. They’re looking for three things... experience (which you’ve already proved you had by getting the interview but training here isn’t a joke and certain backgrounds struggle with our training), good personality, and do you really want to work here long term. They’re good at sniffing out the people that don’t meet the latter two criteria. Good luck!

I know of at least one from my interview group who didn’t get hired. But, they definitely seemed like they wanted to hire everyone. Seems like as long as you didn’t lie about anything on the app/phone interview, act professional, interact with everyone, and have fun you should be fine.
