New Hire Policy!
 

I have around 7000 hrs on the a320’s but all that’s outside of the USA. With an FAA CPL Multi issued in 1998 and work authorization in the US would I be eligible for an FO position at Spirit without an ATP?
Do you guys recommend I get an ATP/CTP course along with an a320 type endorsement in US before I apply for a job?
Thanks in advance!!

If you read the posting on the spirit website. It requires an unrestricted ATP under minimum qualifications, not to mention they don’t even have an ATP/CTP program to begin with.

Maybe go to a regional, get them to pay for it and a bit of experience flying in the US?

My class had a guy that got his ATP with the 320 ride but he did the ATP/CTP before he started class
We started in July 2019

I've gotten a couple of conditional offers from the regionals! Looks like that's the best way forward for me .
Thanks a ton for your advice

I’ve completed my ATP/CTP but when I look at the minimum qualifications for Spirit I see that it says you need an ATP. Can I still apply with just the ATP/CTP and ATP Written?

Man, all I know is that guy had 2k+ A320 hours with Avianca, interviewed, got the job offer and moved to the US a month before class started, did the ATP/CTP and got his ATP when he did his 320 type no problem.
This was last July

I love flying with Avianca, TACA and all manner of South America dudes. Those dudes are super chill and safety-oriented at the same time. Unlike some of our DTW fine stock.

The guys who just want to blast off without looking at paperwork because that’s how they did it on the -9.
