also says they don’t expect to make any adjustments to hiring, staffing or training. Hopefully that stands correct

You know, future spirit pilots read what you say and make decisions based on your ignorant post..... not the best decision but it happens. Start researching and adding educated content, not pond swill. It’s a bad look and makes me think this forum is infected with bitter regional lifers. I just finished recurrent and the union and company folks said the exact opposite, more new hires without any reduction through 2020. Some April reduced hours were coming due to the virus but also the Airbus delivery slow down. Facts, although elusive these days, make for an informed group. I appreciate the previous post using facts to report what is really going on. Common guys/gals.... this is the big leagues. Act like you’ve been there....

Spirit Pilot Hiring in 2020 & Beyond
I have been there, furloughed after 9/11 and downgraded in the recession. That would be great if they keep hiring (more seniority for me) but I’ve heard this song and dance before. Plan for the worst hope for the best.

I wouldn’t advise newhires to change their plans. Take the job if offered. Just be cautious with your math. You might stay longer on reserve but hey, that could always be the case right?

Like every other news headline, people won’t remember this coronavirus by December. I swear if the news outlets didn’t broadcast/exaggerate it 24/7 for their ratings, we wouldn’t be facing this meltdown.
as far as the 2020 hiring, they planned for 64/month and so far they have hit or exceeded those numbers in every single month. April has 68 new hires scheduled. Subject to change at any time of course, but so far so good. I doubt it will stop but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they cut it in half for a short while.
I think as long as this virus doesn’t lead to another recession, we might make it out fine.
reserves are gonna be bored for a while though

i think spirit would do pretty well in a recession assuming oil stays reasonably priced. People won’t want to spend the extra money to fly a legacy so they’ll fly spirit instead. Companies wanting to save on travel will fly spirit instead of a legacy. It’s why a lot of us came here.
