Good to see those positive posts about enjoying the job. I was hired into the pool in March, and still hoping for a class date, but it’s reassuring to see happy people at a job.
Ive worked for too many companies where the pilots were miserable. |

we’ve obviously had/have our issues but the job here (and crews, Training dept, M/X, CPs) are all great.

I came here late last year from Xjet, and feel like I may be dodging a bullet. If I was still there I'd be looking at a downgrade and likely furlough or possibly a shutdown. Overall my Spirit experience has been great.

interesting article about Spirit’s forecast capacity in MCO, seems optimistic |
5 of the six flights I operated on the last trip had less than 10 seats open. Everyone was packed in there even the middle seat.
even the no mask wearers gladly plunked down (handed over the credit card) the $3 to buy a mask from the flight attendants when they were told they couldn’t board without a mask. I have no idea how much people were paying for their fare, but we were carrying the normal bag loads it seemed for the number of passengers we were carrying and bag fees aren’t discounted afaik. And from what our FAs report, people are buying snacks and drinks... because people don’t have to wear the masks while eating or drinking... So the more bags, snacks, and masks we sell it helps our ancillary income, which is where we make our money. people seemed grateful we were flying from what I could tell. |
I wouldn’t be doing backflips and celebrating just yet, we are not out of the woods. ’Rona is back on the rise. Texas just had its most reported cases of it by about double. A lot of other states too.

Who is we? Spirit or the airlines in general?
|
Also in the MEC email, they mention a June high of 291 flights a day. Still sucks but that’s a lot more than 10-15%.
