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?

Yeah, let’s see....

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?

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:

At least more growth is coming in the next few years! 100+ new airframes means a lot of pilot movement...

I think everyone has that limitation.

Yeah, I kind of see that now.
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

Even more why it doesn’t matter, your ATP isn’t circle limited, just the type.

Anywho...welcome to Spirit. Make sure you turn the APU off between turns this summer.

Hahaha. I kid I kid.

This comment was in the article which made the Paris airshow possibly relevant?

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.

The training program isn’t made for someone who has been off from flying for 3 years. Most likely the reason they won’t touch you, you are way out of currency.

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.
