If you got TBNT after the phone interview, I’d be willing to bet they didn’t like your “why spirit” answer and expect you to immediately jump ship to a legacy - which, with 800 hours of 121 sic, is probably a good bet and a red flag to them

Honestly I rushed it. I applied and within less than 24 hours I had the phone interview.

The “why spirit” question is the most (and really only to be honest) important question that will be asked on the phone interview and the actual interview/MTC. You have 800 hours of 121 SIC. Give it two more months and you’ll be hearing from legacies. Why do you want to come to spirit over delta? United? American? Southwest? Spirit knows that someone with your profile is very likely to jump ship - you need to convince them you won’t.

If you don’t plan to stay at spirit, then I don’t see why you’d want ti waste 3 months in training. Fly a few more months at the regional and go to a legacy. If you do actually want to stay here, answering that question shouldn’t be too difficult.

First officer mins on the website are 1500. Is that only for mil bros? Or are they also hiring CFI's with no jet experience into the right seat? If so have they also changed their training program to accommodate former CFI's. I hear Spirit initial isn't the easiest of things.

CFI's are getting hired at 1500 +. Aviation interviews shows a lot of the most recent interviewees and their times--more lower time guys and girls nowadays. ATP now has programs for their students with Frontier/Spirit/etc.

They've added additional FTD lessons along with 1 FFS lesson to accommodate the lesser experienced students. Also if you're coming in with a R-ATP, OE is now planned towards 50 hours. According to the LCAs I've flown with lately the failure rate is still high.

what do you mean by “accommodate”?

do you mean make it easier? Dumb it down? Lower the standards? More breaks? Milk and cookies? Field trips to petting zoos? What?

They have changed it a bit. They now do 6 sims before your type ride. Not sure about FTDs. Anyone who comes in outside of the pathway program and is going to pay for CTP out of pocket, I recommend doing ATP CTP in a 320 sim
