You’re assuming that it would be grounded again for this series of issues. Given its track record it would likely be grounded immediately if someone managed to put one in the dirt again for unrelated reasons.

No doubt. Imagine what would happen if one went down again and was a mass casualty? It would be grounded and taken apart, piece by piece again, with even more scrutiny

Yup. There could be video of it hitting a flock of pterodactyls and clear radio transmissions and recording on the CVR collaborating it, and it would still be grounded for a long time.

Yeah sorry, PPO for me too

After hearing so many positive experiences from Spirit, I've decided to submit an app. I was surprised with how vague it was compared to other airline apps. Do they request more in depth info after the Hogan? I'm gonna knock that out tonight.

You mean you don’t like having to list night IFR while SIC in odd months?? AirlineApps is a joke and a shame people have to go through that, and pay, just to apply for a job.

mins are 3000 TT currently.

Haha, the Night IFR question made me scratch my head, but fortunately I have an electronic logbook that made it pretty simple. I'm curious if they will even consider me since I have 2000 TT, but most is in mil fighters. Never hurts to submit an app I suppose.

Right? I thought the same thing when I did the app. Like "That's all? Don't you want a copy of my great great grandmother's marriage certificate".

Never hurts to apply, or cost anything, but short of strong internals or some meet the chief events, its going to be a long shot with you being 1,000 TT short.

I believe the lowest time guy in my class was a military guy with I wanna say 1700-2000 hours.

So you’re saying there’s a chance...I’ll take it! Also, I will look into trying to do a meet the chiefs event.

I’m still scratching my head. I also have an electronic logbook and still can not tell
you my night IFR time. If I have one leg that is 3.1 hours, with 2.0 night, 1.1 day, and .5 IFR, how much of that time is night IFR? Was my IFR DAY, night, or split up? I sure don’t know. I don’t see how having an electronic logbook made figuring out your night IFR easier.

If you really have that much Hornet time I’d welcome you’re presence anytime.

I'm not even sure what they are asking for. I just put my total night time. Mistake? I have no way of figuring out how much IFR at night I've done and I question if that's even what they want, as who cares what time it is if you can't see out the window anyway?

Is it worth going to a MTC if I’m still about a year away from hirining mins?

It's always worth it to go.

Does anyone knows how reapplying works if you've already applied in the current application number? I've seen it's 6 months to reapply/redo the gallup, does it just make a new link once it's been the designated time?

Thx!

Similar question to this: if I took the Gallup and passed and reapplied to the newer job posting do I need to do the assessment again? I was sent the link to complete it but haven’t clicked the link yet. My application is saying “under review” and not the “awaiting assessment” as said the first time before competing.

Click the link and it will say you've completed the Gallup.

I was in the same position as you were and go to talk to the Spirit Recruitment department and I was told I needed to be current to be considered for an interview (regardless of previous experience). I have talked to recruiters from other major airlines as well and all of them require some from of currency, some 100hrs 121 within the last 12 months, some more, and some less.

I know now people who have been hired at Spirit with 0 hours of 121.

I had zero hours of 121 time.

Same here ....

I’m interviewing Tuesday, so I guess they aren’t too concerned about it anymore..who knows lol!

DAL, FDX, UAL actually prefer that you don't.

NKS is in good company.

Those of you with no 121 time, were you military or what was your background?

Hiring upped to 68/month

What’s the source?

training folks

I heard the same. At least through March.

Spirit management has a big decision to make; halt growth for the time being or continue with aircraft deliveries and hope this virus scare is limited to just screwing up the summer air travel season.

They have already cut capacity for April they’ve pretty much already made their choice. I doubt we will be seeing many more classes going forward.

If oil stays as cheap as it is, will probably offset some of the reduced demand. Also since this whole virus scare to turn around pretty quickly you’ve gotta still be in a spot to capitalize when demand returns, which it will. People will only put up with putting their lives on hold so long for a mild virus.

also seems like this OIL thing will make more headlines than the Coronavirus

Corporate. 4000 hrs and 1500 TPIC when I got hired.

Maybe the reduction will result in adequate staffing for the summer that helps prevent the annual meltdown and actually lets training classes continue.

(Wishful thinking because I'd love a July/August class date)

The fact you know Spirit has its annual meltdown shows you’ve done the research on Spirit.

Meltdowns mean money I hope they don’t stop forever

for us spring break and summer are the travel season. We don’t make it up in the fall with business travel

You guys have seen the email right? Ted claims we will only grow April at 9% so clearly Management isn't that worried.
