LAS, IAH, or FLL from my understanding

How is reserve usage at LAS?

I personally can’t attest to LAS reserve usage, but LAS is the land of redeyes and premium flying. Good luck

Any Aussie pilots in here who recently joined Spirit? Or does anyone know if Spirit is still accepting applications from Australian pilots?

Whats the current wait time to hold IAH as a base for a new FO?

Lots of Aussie guys at Spirit. You'll have any base within 3-4 months as an FO.

Thank you!

Can anyone tell me what life based out of IAH is like? 3-4 day trips? Day turns? Red eyes?

“It’s hot, damn hot, real hot, hotter than things in my shorts you could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cookin. It’s that damn hot.” IAH is Hot and Wet.

Can you hold MIA base right out of training? If not which other base can you hold and how long on average it takes to hold Miami. Thank you.

the main base is Lauderdale with a few flights out of MIA daily. You’ll be able to hold it soon. Initially on paper you get LAS in training. But then your first month to be able to bid, you will more than likely get Fort Lauderdale. Just remember that once you bid and are awarded Fort Lauderdale , you will not actually get that base until the third month. Which gives you time to get done with training, OE, and then your first month relief line COULD still be LAS. But because it’s a line, you could always try to drop as many trips as possible, and pick up flying out of Lauderdale.

How long would you spend on rsv in MIA/FLL? And what’s the average wait time for upgrade? Thanks for the response.

The time to a line here in Poontang is rather long, but the benefits are outstanding!
