Hiring Update-

Spirit Airlines will not be slowing down hiring during the summer. You can expect 18-24 pilots hired per month indefinitely.

Yup, same here...busy signal for 10 minutes, followed by ringing for 5.

One of the down sides to rapid expansion. 10 minute wait for crew scheduling or a 10 year wait to the left seat. Which would you rather have?

Eh....respectfully disagree.
It's not acceptable to hire endlessly for flight/ cabin crew and not do the same for the support staffing. One goes hand-in-hand with the other. Well, they do if there is any concern for operational integrity, that is.

You're right but the last place I worked they answered the phone right now, it was seven years to captain and second year pay here is captain pay there.

They are short staffed big time. It probably won't change anytime soon unless we complain. Time to write the CP.

Agree. I sent an email out not so long ago. Also time to start sending some ACARS delay reports. I am done hassling and skipping my morning Starbucks so I get to fix someone else's screw up. Hey. If they give me notams for DEN on a LGA-FLL leg, I better read those because they have got to be important. Right?
