Wow, that is surpising to hear. I know they can be very picky right now, but that sounds like a large number of people getting rejected. Just getting an interview right now is pretty competetive. Sorry to hear, but I would keep trying if you really want to be at Spirit.

Sorry for those that got the email. Maybe Capt Scott can answer this, have they filled the upcoming classes, or has hiring slowed?

We are scheduled to get our NEOs starting in 2016. Those coming starting in 2017 will be fitted with eTaxi. eTaxi or electric-taxi is essentially a geared AC motor powered by the APU and installed on each main landing gear that enables the crew to taxi without engines. We will be one of the first to use them.

I was told the original plan was to slow hiring/upgrades during the summer months. However, because of the uncertainty with the staffing requirements for FAR 117, the training dept will be max blast until at least the end of the year. I'm not sure how far out the classes are filled, but I believe the interview is usually about a month prior to the next available class.

This is extremely exciting. I saw the YouTube video and it looked a great system.
The future is looking very bright...

weasil and IADBLRJ41:

Sorry to hear that.
What was the "talent" experience this time around?
Best luck.
Thank you for posting.

My buddy put it pretty good yesterday:
"Calling CS is like calling a radio station to win tickets"

So yeah, I've experienced what you've described.

Yup. They need to hire a few more schedulers.
