Go to a meet the chiefs and don’t be a tool or come off as fake and you’ll probably get a call.

I’m not necessarily sure about a “guarantee”, but I came from corporate. No 121 experience. But I did have almost 3000 hours jet time and over 1500 TPIC. I had one internal recommendation and got a call less than a week after I applied.

I had someone on the inside hustling pretty hard for me. 2 meet the chiefs. The second time round I was less nervous and they liked me more.

I got a call about 3 weeks after my second one and have a class date on the 11th.

Just keep trying. As far as I could tell, meet the chiefs was around the Thursday or Friday on the third week of every month. If you go to enough of them you'll get your call. I had 10 hours over the mins when I first applied.

After every meet the chiefs, just email the email back and ask to be put in the list for the next one. That was my approach.

I think even these days they are interviewing at the event if they like you enough.

I got invited to a MTC event coming up and have one internal letter of recommendation! I only have 2600 TT but 1250 TPIC at a skydive operation. Also just upgrade at my current airline, what are my chances? I know I have low TT but just checking my chances. Four year degree as well!

Yeah I figured just did not want to frustrate them by not having there minimums and hurt my chances!

They know how much TT you have right? The fact you got the invite anyway means they are willing to consider you. I'd go into it with the mentality that you have every chance at getting the job. If you instead find that they aren't interested because of your low TT you can shift to a message of "I know my TT is low but this is a great networking opportunity and I really do want to work for Spirit as soon as my experience meets your minimums." You at least then have a chance to make a good impression and make getting a future interview easier.
