Age
Would age be a factor in getting hired? Spirit seems like a young pilot group would they hire someone older say late 40’s or early 50’s?
Thanks. |
We’ve hired plenty in that age range. Just flew with a recent hire that was 56. Age shouldn’t have much to do with it. We need qualified bodies and those will be harder and harder to find.

It's a young pilot group but that has nothing to do with hiring practice. Plenty of new hires in the 40s-50s age range.
|
A couple years back, my sim partner for the PC was doing his first Airbus PC at 60.
|
I was hired seven years ago at 52.
|
I’m in my mid 30s and was in the middle of my class seniority wise (done by age).
|
I've hired several over 60 pilots. Our rule of thumb...if a pilot can give us two good years, he's made up the investment we made in him for initial training/qualification.

Sad that’s the “rule of thumb”
Pilots have to be weighed in terms of asset/liability. If what the pilot brings in line flying is less than what it cost to train him, they're a liability. If they bring in more, they become an asset. What is it you don't understand about that simple equation? |
