Income and schedule new pilots
Good morning.. I am about to join Spirit and will like to hear from new pilots how schedule looks like and how much money they get right after training (monthly total net or gross) 1st and then 2nd year?
Is it possible to get FLL or MCO right after training?
How many nights a month out of base?
Thanks!!

I’m no expert and these are rough numbers but about:
$1500 a month in training after tax
3700 a month first year after tax
7600 a month second year after tax
Line holders maybe 16 days off a month.
pilots in the schoolhouse are being awarded FLL and MCO before being released to the line right now

Reserve will be 6 on 4 off, unless it’s integration then they can roll it to 6 on 1 off, which I have unfortunately done. For reserves I think it’s 13 days off a month (someone else might know for sure). You should be able to get FLL or MCO relatively soon out of training, if not in training.

Been hoping someone asks someone along these línes... I want to add to the question.
On reserve how much flexibility do you have on your schedule?
Can you bid when your reserve blocks are?
Are there morning, mid day or night RAPs? Can you choose preference?
Can you do less than blocks of 6 days on?
Can you get more than 4 days off in row?
Can you pick up open time?
Are you straight reserve till you get a line or do you get consolidation lines every couple of months?
And lastly... how long is reserve time until you can enjoy the benefits of being a line holder in let’s say ORD?
Thank you!

If you fly often on reserve the per diem offsets most of your contributions (401k, medical etc) during the first year pay.
It has been discussed exhaustively in other threads about possibilities to earn over guarantee, but it would be wise to budget first year pay assuming you will not break the 72 hours.

No you cannot pick up open time on Reserve or Off days, only premium trips and only if scheduling offers them to you.
Are you straight reserve till you get a line or do you get consolidation lines every couple of months?
There is no consolidation line “every couple months”
