It’s official! We are recalling and upgrading again! 200% pay for spring break pairings!

March and April bookings are over 87%. Exiting bankruptcy early summer.

This is the beginning of the greatest airline comeback story.

The real good news is that all furloughed pilots are being recalled and upgraded classes are starting this summer.

That is correct. All furloughed will be recalled. The furloughed FAs will be back on line by next week.

Recall also means that Spirit is not likely to go to 13 pilots per airplane.

Or that they don't plan on many coming back. Hell I wouldn't.

Pretty sure they need them for summer and are hoping that attrition does the dirty work for them, otherwise come fall right back out the door would be the expectation.

^^ This. They're probably planning for continued attrition as well. It still makes financial sense long-term to leave (assuming your <55yo)

They can take their 8% DC and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Even with recalls and upgrades I'm still out.

You would have to be a fool to come back here unless you could get an LOA from somewhere and split when it makes financial sense.

Use this recall to your advantage people, none of you on the street owe anything to spirit.

Wow. So many missable former employees just can’t help themselves but come back to “the good news thread” and try and negatively spin the fantastic news furloughed and downgraded pilots have been waiting for.

Enjoy your commute;)

The purge is almost complete. We are going to have a tight knit pro spirit pilot group motivated to Make Spirit Great Again.

Exactly. They see the attrition, they see the canceled flights, so might as well offer recalls to whoever will come to get them through the summer and then reevaluate.

Larger issue is the increasing oil price and how will the ULCC/LCC deal with that cost.
