Spirit Hiring FOs
 

Careers Home Apply

Gonna be honest...didn't have this one on my bingo card a few months ago. Could really work out nicely for some, especially if the post-bankruptcy model pans out.

yeah. They’re gonna be the next Delta Air Lines.

get in there and get that early seniority number!!!

You prior apply to the Rhodesian Air Force too?

I just wanna know how ya’ll went straight from CFI to United.

Never change APC, never change.

Does this imply they aren’t getting the recall numbers they were expecting? I wouldn’t think you’d hire until all recalls were back on properly. Do the furloughed pilots have the ability to bypass recall until a later date?

511 furloughees had until March 23rd to accept the recall, and have until April 8 to return to duty. Mandatory recalls will immediately follow. System-wide vacancy bid will come out in April, which will be effective June 1. I'm guessing they get about 100, which is less than the recent monthly attrition rate.

I understand it’s a risky move but, is it possible that upgrade might be quick for someone getting in now?

No.

filler

1) as above, no
2) the level of attrition that would produce that would have its own risks

Hi all - first time poster here. Wanted to get some gouge from any current Spirit pilots. I just applied to the new FO posting. IF I get an interview I need to weigh pro's and con's and I know I don't have the depth of knowledge of Spirit nor the 121 world to make an educated decision on my own. Right now I live in Lauderdale and fly out of FLL. Current 91 gig has me flying King Airs making ~$170,000 a year (ATP, typed in the 300). Job satisfaction is not so great right now, I'm nearly maxed on earning potential and the airlines have my interest with the aggressive hiring going on right now. Have an app out in several places but Spirit is particularly appealing because of the FLL base and future potential earnings. Is this dumb to consider?? I've talked, briefly, with former Spirit guys and they all said they used to love the flying and the culture. Am I suffering from some form of Shiny Jet Syndrome or could Spirit be a decent fit?
