Spirit has a very high pass rate going back to 4 sims, and now with 5 sims, it still remains high.

Now if I was coming from 200 hours TT in Europe,
10 sims would be helpful.

If I was hired at 2300 TT from a job fair, maybe I would like more sims.

We haven’t had issues with pilots succeeding in training, Spirit isn’t hiring based on faces they want in the terminal, I’ll leave it at that.

Zero to Hero plane? What does that mean. Not being sarcastic, I am actually wondering what your are referring to. I assume you mean Airbus from blueprint to reality built a plane that did not require the pilots to be astronauts to fly?

Thank you

Airbus wanted to design a plane that a 250 hour pilot could learn to fly versus a less automated plane that requires "pilots". Most who have flown an Airbus knows that Fifi will try to violate you every trip, so there is still no substitution for experience.
