How many planes does Spirit have on order?

Frontier has about 185 I think?

Default Atp mins

With spirit dropping hiring requirements to ATP Mins will this change now? Has anyone ever got offered a FO position at spirit with the hiring eligibility dropped to minimums?

With Indigo having the ability to put them wherever them deem to be best, including their other airlines correct?

Personally glad to see the 2 of us coming together.

There'll be short term pain but long term gain from this for all of us. I hope we take the best out of each other's contracts, especially quality of life rules. Let's work together to make this new company a great place to have a career.

What is indigo’s controlling interest in Frontier now that they are public? I know indigo had the orders to be placed at Frontier but ultimately it was/is indigo not frontier that controls those orders. How if at all did that change after IPO

No, there are tons of FO's at regionals who cannot get a response from Spirit or Frontier. Only people getting that offer is probably from their cadet program/partnership with schools and I know ATP flight school only sent the crème de la crème to Frontier

I can't imagine leaving one for the other and taking any seniority hit.....but everyone's individual situation and priorities are different.
Not trying to be snarky, just not as familiar: what do F9 pilots get that NK pilots don't?

I just interviewed and was offered a class date. Everyone in my group that interviewed that day were all FOs from all different regionals. Times were as low as 2K to 3K
