Recent Hiring Stats
 

Anyone willing to share their stats when picked up by Spirit? Looking for recent new hires with either CJOs pre-covid or new hires after-covid.

Thanks!

Hired a few years ago, but was recently told they had 3000+ apps on file since reopening the window, are upping new hire classes to 48 per month starting this month, and are looking to go to 60+ a month starting next year.

They are actively looking to add to the delivery schedule, so we’ll need the pilots.

I've helped 2 people get hired within the last 30 days. First person is all civilian 5000+ hours with 2k TPIC. Second was a mil rotor dude who also was a 121 RJ Captain. 3300+ total time and like 700 TPIC in addition to a ton of military quals.

Hired Feb of 2020, 2700 TT, 0 TPIC. Met with recruiters at a job fair, was told I wasn’t competitive. Mentioned I had an app on file that had been there for 5 months, received the invite the next week.

Applied a few months ago. 8800 TT, 5 types , no 121 but former 135 CP and DO. BS in aviation and MBA. Still under review. Same at every place I have applied … I’ll probably win the power ball before anyone calls for an interview chance. I’ll keep trying.

All 135 is tough. No prior 121 time is not a big issue but some may see it as “not 121 material”. Not sure what spirit thinks in that regard. I have heard of 135 guys getting hired and then later quitting since they can’t get used to 121 schedules or something of that nature. It’s definitely a different animal. What is your motivation to switch? Going to a MTC event would maybe help.

motivation for switching??? Uh let’s see. Money! Retirement!

I find that hard to believe. As someone who has done a little bit of everything. Anyone I meet who has ever flown 135 them came to a major has never looked back. Unless you are talking about a regional but I can definitely tell you this isn’t a regional.

Sorry should have clarified … I’m former part 135 now 91 for last 9 years. Currently have a worse schedule then on demand 135 was. Just looking for options and I read and hear good things about Sprit
