Point blank; this isn’t an entry level job. If you want to work here, prepare for it and not treat it as a currency stepping stone as you would a regional.

Not looking for a stepping stone by any means..but I wasn’t gonna stay at Atlas when I got an offer to be home more and make more money. With that said, I’d still like to be at Spirit much more than my current spot.
Guess I’ll ask them when I get to the Meet the Chiefs next month.

I see all kinds of backgrounds and times. Recently flew with a great guy that doesn't have the 4000TT to upgrade! Get your app in and update. Bug them and be ready when Spirit calls.

We need guys and I'm sure we'd love to have you but make sure that you can get through training first because we give very few second chances.
