We don’t do a circle on the type ride, so you get the limitation. Not sure what makes that silly??

Do you even circle, bro?

Add the circle to the ride and add another task you can bust and pink slip? Or don’t add the circle, have the limitation, and see how it doesn’t change anything about your job. We don’t circle IMC anyways; so unless you plan to work overseas? |

I think everyone has that limitation.
Sorry, this will be my 4th type but the 1st one with a limitation. But maybe it's because it is my first 121 job |

Wish this decision would be made during the Paris Air Show - but it sounds like it won’t be made for a few more months:

Christie says Spirit hopes to finalise an order in the next several months, though he will not rule out an announcement at the Paris air show later this month saying "we'll see how things go". |
Do you know if anyone has been hired @ Spirit with no recent experience? I have plenty of time 11,800 TT most of it part 121, last flown in April 2016, I took a break from aviation and now I am ready to come back.

Honestly, an abridged 121 Airbus PIC training program isn’t something you just jump back into after a 3 year break from flying. Want to fly for Spirit, get recurrent at a regional and apply. |
