I could use a referral. If anyone would like to do this pm me for my phone number. Thanks in advance. 😁

BTW $500 and I'll write you a referral! LOL


Fellow Spirit Pilots,

As briefed, we are planning on hiring approximately 320 pilots in 2019. If you wish to submit a referral, please send an email to XXXXXXXXX.com with their current resume and cover letter. Additionally, your referral should have completed the online application and have been screened by you, in detail. Some questions to consider asking:

Do you have any Failed check rides, oral or written exams?
Have you ever received a letter of investigation from the FAA or any other office?
Do you have any accidents, incidents or violations on your record?
Are you able to pass a background check?
Is Spirit your final career destination?

We take pride in our growth plans and look forward to continual recruiting and hiring events in the near future. If you have any questions regarding the referral process, please contact XXXXX.com.

I received the email 3 or 4 weeks ago for the talent assessment and have not heard back anything. Is no news good news?

Been waiting since March 3rd. I'm interpreting the continued "under review" as a good thing.

Same here. Assessment done about 4 weeks ago. No TBNT email.

Yet no email to set up a phone interview.

I continue to tell myself that no news is good news and relax, the email is coming next week. But...

I'm not trying to come across as "this is a foregone conclusion," but I'd say if we've all made it all this far, and they are needing 56 a month, and FLL CP is basically begging for recommendations, there should be a bit more action on this forum (yes I understand not every Spirit candidate frequents these forums). In other words, we all probably check most of the boxes; let the job be "ours to lose" in the interviews.

Ok, don't mind me, back to the salt mine I go.

I'm there with you. I just had a friend submit me through their referral system last week. No changes on my dashboard yet.

Not to bust any bubbles but the FLL Chief is not by any means begging for recommendations-

Good luck to all of you guys/ gals!!!

I agree. I think they just want to narrow it down a little, and it seems we are one of the few airlines where an internal recommendation could help prior to being in front of the interview panel.

Haha. I love this post. Classic “we need them more than they need us, so they have to call”

The Chief Pilot mentioning referrals is to compliment existing applications on file, to help sweeten the chances for a pilot who has applied or will be applying; it’s not as a tool for the company to get a referral, contact that pilot and say “we need pilots, please apply!”

Crazy......right?!! Some people are either very full of themselves, or still view Spirit as a stepping stone that will hire all that simply apply! I really hope HR does a good job weeding these guys out.
