I see crew planning is working like the well oiled machine they are. Not only did the lines not come out for feb, they Even managed to turn off January open time. And as always, straight to voice mail...

I must say that it was a great experience. The interview was very straight forward, relaxed and everyone was very nice. They were gracious enough to fly me to FLL (positive space), pay for my hotel and buy me lunch on the day of the interview. Everyone I met from the gate agents to the pilots to the flight attendants were very nice and helpful. That alone in my opinion says a lot about an organization.
I think Spirit is a great airline and one with a promising future.
Thanks for letting me "bleed" a little on the forum. Now off to therapy to deal with my first "no thank you" in aviation in 25 years!! LOL
P.S - And for those who made it...nice work!!

When I was down in MIA @ Airbus recently, I talked to some of the new hires, including a former AStar DC-8 Captain, a former military guy who's a United furlough, an ex-corporate guy (Lear's) and a former 1900D pilot. One of the pilots was in the mid 20's, others were late 40's.
The only thing they all had in common was they all knew that they were fortunate to be picked up at Spirit (there's lots of competition for any job that could be considered a 'career' job right now, hopefully AA furloughs aren't coming) and all had someone on the inside help get their application noticed.
Not sure what 'type' we're looking for, but I know from experience what it's like to get the 'thin letter' as a well qualified applicant while watching others without your quality of resume get picked up. Unfortunately, pilots don't hire pilots these days, so we all watch HR pass on some great applicants.
Hopefully you find something even better, 'needtofly'. If not, give us another chance - maybe in 6 months we won't make the same mistake.

Sorry to hear that Need. I don't fly for the "kids of ned" but it sounds like they may have made a mistake by not offering you a class date. Your answer about being a 10 was absolutely correct. Heres why. Would you put your family on my jet if I said I was a 6.5? You are a 10...you aspire to be a 12 and are willing to work hard as it takes etc etc! Spirit's a good outfit. I hope they reconsider and take another look at you. Best of luck.

Interesting. I was asked the same question 5 years ago when I was interviewed. I know they grilled a couple over it back then.
