Spirit vs a 172 or no flying is an easy choice.

Actually, I am giving up a captain position at one of the largest 135 companies to come back. I need the 121 time and am late in a second career. Would love to see Spirit make it and stay, but also much greater chance of getting to a major if working the line and current.

I would think the PIC time would be more valuable if that’s your goal.

We’re going to have to hire again .. not just the recalls. With the attrition and lack of pilots coming back …

Not trying to sound snarky, but given the dire financial situation, do you think that they’d be able to fill a class? Would 1,500 hour CFI’s roll the dice on Spirit surviving, or would they rather to go to a regional thinking it’s a quicker and more stable path to building 121 and TPIC time?

LOL CFI's are at 2500 hours right now and would take anything over doing power on stalls in a clapped 172

well, that would depend on the options that they have… And their personal situation. I would gladly take an airbus over a 172.

also, I’m not arguing that they might not even be able to fill the classes lol I’m just saying from my perspective I wouldn’t be surprised to see an announcement of hiring again that’s all

would they be the most qualified or experienced? Debatable. But if/when they hire. Classes will be full.

They will have no problem filling classes. 1500 hour CFIs dont have a ton of options.
