Do you have a source about it diminishing

Good sign or not? Just had a friend tell me that the MTC scheduled for later this month was moved to a video chat. They are keeping the plan so far.

There’s no evidence to assume this will ‘burn out’ when the temps rise.

When’s the hiring freeze begin? How deep will the cuts go? -30% is not sustainable.

Where did you get the 30%?

Spirit (SAVE) stock fell 30% today. Worst in the industry. Under $15/share now.

New York Stock Exchange.

Spirit down more than any other. -30%

Gotcha. Thought you were talking about 30% drop in future bookings.

I would bet the booking drop is at least that or more.

One of the articles out there says summertime domestic bookings are down 20 to 40 percent varying on the market.

There’s no evidence to not assume that it will burn out. They don’t know

True. But MERS was a similar Coronavirus and it originated in areas with temperatures well over 100*.

there is no evidence to assume anything

preliminary data indicates it is similar to the flu, and that there is an air quality/pollution, and possibly cigarrette smoker, connection of some sort, for those who died.

Tell that to Italy.

I think they know

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, but again no numbers from the people running the show. Are we down 20% or 40%? Huge spread. 20% is probably manageable with some network tweaking, 40% probably calls for more drastic measures... but who knows what they’re seeing.

aside from the fact that they are having outbreaks in Australia on the Gold Coast and it is literally 80 degrees and summer down there...

For those on the outside waiting

CEO email today, we will continue to hire crew to support growth, but hiring and training will be continually reviewed and adjusted as needed.

Could be a lot more negative, any intake is good intake.

I thought it sounded pretty reasonable and overall a good approach. This will pass and if we look at life after corona we could be in a good position to excel

According to an email to instructors and checkairmen starting in April there will be 8 new hires per week instead of the planned 16. March classes are unchanged.

”No additional new hire positions will be offered.”

Who said that?

Just a guess, but i think he was quoting that instructor email maybe?

If they cut April in half, it would make sense that they might stop hiring in May. Who knows for sure.

Ultimately when all the BS is over with, there is almost zero indication that people aren’t going to fly again.

This country is addicted to travel. You really think people are going to start driving 18 hours to go visit friends/family and take trips? I mean really?

Of course all the “financial gurus” on here believe we are going to have some massive recession now, worse than 2008 after its all said and done. There isn’t any evidence this is going to happen. If signs point to it, then we evaluate what it means for us.

2 weeks ago, travel was fine and humming along. Then the media did their BS and it is what it is now.

When it passes, which it will, then things should resume.

Ive been out and about this weekend at home. Malls are busy, restaurants are busy. People are living their lives where I live. They aren’t holed up in their homes.

Worry about the “no one will ever fly again” when we have actual evidence that seems to be the case. Until then, there isn’t any that suggest we are all going to start traveling by train and car for the rest of our lives.

It is what it is now because the virus has spread exponentially. That's just science. Trump on the other hand said 2 weeks ago it was contained. Now he just got tested. That's the BS not the media that has to report facts convenient or not.
​​​​​​
Anyways I wouldn't discount science and the reality of the matter for a second. Science is what makes planes takeoff remember?
I will agree with you though that the country is addicted to travel and to compare this with a 2008 breakdown in actual financial pricing/derivatives etc would be incorrect.

It's in the same email he is quoting.

March classes unchanged.

8 new hires per week for April and May.

No additional hiring for June as of right now, but they will continue to interview and put applicants into a “pool” for class dates once we resume training. All of this is subject to change daily, of course.

I wasn’t going to post this but I feel people are cherry picking lines from the email to post the worst case scenario. It’s not good, but it’s definitely better than it could be right now.

Thank you. Seems like it would be nice if this type of info is disseminated to line pilots normally. Why the secrets?

He knows nothing! Fake news! 100% forget people like this. Nothing has come out of the school house or management.

Nothing official has come out from management. Rumors are from check airmen saying they received an email that starting April hiring will be reduced to 8 per week instead of the original planned 16 per week. That’s all I’ve heard. Nothing about hiring stopping in June. I heard it directly from a check airman and feel like he would have mentioned hiring stopping in June. Who knows though.

100% factual quoted from the email.

Your view and vantage on what is about to happen in the industry is askew. Prepare! It is happening much to all of our dismay.

Spirit App is nowhere to be found
 

Hey guys,

Last week I submitted my application to Spirit, took the Gallup Assessment, and the application said it was under review. This morning my application is nowhere to be found and it states that I have not submitted my profile to any jobs. Also the First Officer Job Ad is gone as well. Has Spirit stopped taking in applications?

Thank you

I won’t be surprised, hang in there.

Dude there is credible talk of national airspace shutdown. All major airlines will most likely furlough and there will be no hiring for a long time.

Just like the 2000s, age 67 here we come.

When we finally think we’re getting a break in the industry...another kick in the nuts to bring things back to reality 🥴

Most Likely be age 77. Just what I need. This sucks all the way around.

That would be correct. Got a call from HR, she said exactly that. I think they are concerned people wont show up for class.
