does spirit still require you to wait 5 years since 121 failure? I heard 5 years, others I heard it depends
has anyone interviewed recently? can you give me some questions they asked, and what specifically they asked? I know of the website where you pay $100. However, everything there is vague. For example, they say know a taf. What code caught you off guard specifically? what approach plates they use? etc. all in all, I would like to know how the interview is. thanks. Also, the website, would include whatever specific question they got so don’t give up just yet. The plates I had to know where mentioned on the website too. |

Welcome to 2023 and our hiring.
"But I dont want to spend a $100 to get a multi million dollar job" BusBoe, spend the $100, get the info, and be prepared. No different than whats expected from you every day you show up to work. I hope you dont need a cheat sheet on how to read a TAF or an approach plate. I can guarantee you nobody is trying to "stump" anyone at these interviews. |

This is a major so the standard is that you would know how to read a TAF in its entirety. If you don’t know one (maybe you don’t fly where there’s snow), no big deal. Say so and move on. But knowing a large majority of it is the standard.

I was chatting with a senior CKA yesterday. I made a snide remark about the level of experience of our new hires. He had a completely different attitude and said "These guys are really studying their @sses off, it's really impressive, good to see".
So, I've changed my attitude. Gave my phone number to a brand new guy I met in the terminal, and told him to call me if he thinks I can help out with anything. |

Here is a note for the new guys and this being their first airline/flying job: tip the drivers. And a $1 tip is not enough for the long stay rides. Doesn’t matter if you’re against tipping culture, this isn’t the coffee girl at Starbucks, pilots tip drivers.

And, if you came from a crappy training department like PSA where they fail you for any and everything, you will again, have 0 issues transitioning on the Bus. People in Europe (and literally anywhere else outside of the USA) fly this thing with only 250 hours under their belt in a cessna. It's a very pilot-friendly plane. |
