General Information
 

Hello,

I know that there is a lot of information in this forum, but I didn’t found all the answers, so….

1- How Junior is MIA/FLL base? Any change to get that right after training?

2 - How is the QOL in general? How many days of trip usually??

3 - Is there premium flights? 120% , 150% ?

4 - How the environment?? Usually good? Bad?

5 - How much expect to make as a first year F/O that likes to fly a lot ?

6 - How long until upgrade ?

thank you!!

Filler…. 10 blah blah blah…

i mean come on. The answer to every question is on the first page. Multiple times over.

“I didn’t find the answer” is some lazy BS

you didn’t look


but I’ll try to answer your……”questions”

1. No very senior to much. Many not year.

2. day of trip many. Some many. Some no many. QOL very.

3. Premium do if want

4. environment if want. Not if don’t.

5. expect much not. Get not much. Some maybe but no much if not maybe.

6. many long. Between 3 year or many month.



hope that helps. If not, try this

lmao 🤣

too short need more english

This is amazing 😂

1) You should be able to hold it on the first or second vacancy bid. Pretty junior right now.

2) I live in base and my QOL is amazing. I can’t speak on the commuting aspect of flying for Spirit. I usually hold weekends off as a junior reserve guy. YMMV.

3) We have plenty of premium flying going around right now at 200%.

4) Everyone I talk to is happy here. If you’re young and live in a legacy, lots of CAs will encourage you to move on due to the merger, but it’s an overall good pilot group with good morale.

5) Budget for minimum guarantee, but breaking 100k isn’t unrealistic if you work some premium trips. Again, living in base is key.

6) 3 years is for upgrade in a junior base and you’ll be on reserve for over a year. Some people don’t upgrade because they wait until they can hold a line on the CA side. Again, YMMV.

Good luck!

Thak you very much ...

not go you to now American?

Oh good another FLL FO that won't be able to speak english. Great.

eeeespiiirtee weeeiings

FO or Mihami controller?

last week Miami approach responded to my reply with “corrrrrrect.” and I was giggling the rest of the approach, the new hire flying with me didn’t get the reference

your FO was probably too busy still learning how to fly a transport category aircraft.

With Jetblue's plans to get rid of the Spirit brand after the merger, and Jetblue being an east coast airline, has JB made it known as to what will become of DTW and ORD?

they’re being closed.

No word has been given on any existing NK bases. Everything is speculation.

JetBlue being an east coast airline is one of the big reasons they are buying NK, they can’t continue only being an east coast airline.

It’s all speculation right now. Do what’s best for you and your family

DTW will be the new headquarters. There was a press release about it. Delta is abandoning Dtw altogether.

Delta is abandoning Dtw…..

:D;)

i get roasted a lot here(mainly cuz I’m a student) but I’m just glad that wasn’t me😭😂

already started their drawdown.

In fact, if you check flight radar, they’re launching a plane out of there about every 5 min or so!! Wow!!! Abandon ship for delta in DTW!

make deeeetroit great again!!

Press release any day they we are getting all the delta A350s contingent that they are operated out of DTW in a half mint, half high density no seatbelt configuration

you’re almost right. By half mint half high density, it means plane by plane. So one plane will be fully mint and the other will hold 1,388

pilot instructors?
 

Hi all!
is it true that spirit is hiring pilot instructors (I think they call them senior flight ops instructors) at 140k? I have a friend that says he is interviewing for it. He has like 5000 hours?
