That puts a class date right around Jan 2020. Is it possible to push the class date? And if so how far out does Spirit allow the class date to be pushed? A change in my plans means I won't be able to take a class date until Spring 2020 now, advice from you all would be appreciated. Push the interview? Interview then defer the class date? Or just talk to the recruiter before the interview and ask for their advice?
After you get the CJO if you are successful, you'll get a few links/paperwork packets. I've sent all mine in, but I believe it said somewhere on there that you have up to 120 days to accept a class date. If you go beyond that, it said you may have to re-interview. That could be wrong but that's what is in my head.

Just want to clarify the trip rig....

So it’s 3.5:1. That means you must be paid 6.85 hours of credit per 24 hours away from base... is that correct? That seems too good to possibly be true. So a 4-day trip is 27+ hours of credit? And you only need to hit 72/month?

Yes your understanding of that duty rig is correct. 6.85 for 24 hours away from base.

However a 4 day will very rarely, if ever, be 96 hours away from base (which is what you used for calculation).
Typical TAFB for a 4 day will range between 65 hours - 85 hours. Most 4 days will credit 20 hours plus or minus a couple depending on base, seniority, and trip preferences.

Like Landgreen said, it's per hour, not per day. Depending on base, you will credit block or rig or extra credit. Some of trips I bid in LAS are 4-day, 4 legs total, 10pm check in, 10am check out, so 58hr TAFB, 12hr block, 20 hour credit, because 3 duties and a long layover (extra day pay for 24hr+ hotel).

10am checkouts in Vegas are not that common. don't sell a dream.

I said “some”, not selling anything, they went junior because of red-eye, just giving an example of how you can’t jus look at block/TAFB.

The post below you explained it and it’s pretty much an industry standard trip rig. Frontier is worse. Everyone else has calendar day average and we have duty period which is below industry.

I’d say hard bock, the trip rig, and duty period average, are about evenly split in our pairings on which of the three is going to pay more.

They typically call between five to eight days with an offer. The class date offer can be a few weeks after that.
