How does Spirit view second-time applicants? I applied and interviewed just before the shut down of our lives and received a TBNT letter nine days later. I'm confident, or at least hopeful, things will turn around for the better in a matter of months to a couple years.

I can apply again in six months (mid September) and am counting down the days to when I am eligible to do so. But what are my chances the second time around assuming all is well (enough) with the industry? Do they like the persistence of an applicant, or is it a red flag to them when they see that you were not hired the first time around?

Thanks for any insight.

Absolutely they like persistence. I went through the same thing, kept applying, and was hired eventually. Face time with a meet and greet will help a lot as well. Good luck!

Fantastic news, thank you! I will keep at it until I get it then.

Yes persistence is a good sign. A friend of mine got the TBNT the first time, but got an offer for a class date the 2nd time. Attending 2-3 job fairs to talk to a Spirit recruiter was normal in the past.

The guy I flew with today got it on his second try. He went to a "Meet the Chiefs" the second time, and was hired on the spot. Good luck!

Excellent news, thanks guys. I attended WAI in March and received an internal recommendation from one of your senior Chicago captains. Hoping I can do a meet the chiefs sometime in order to show more interest before or around September.

Funny I heard a similar rumor the other day. Who knows, I would be happy with an official we are not intending on furloughing.

This would obviously be amazing news, but wouldn't we expect that they would play these cards close to their chests until right up to the last moment?

Obviously an intent to hire would also indicate an intent not to furlough, but with so many sociological and biological threats floating around at the moment, I would think they'd be wise to give it as much time as possible, in order to go in either direction?
