read through this entire thread (I did at one point, lol. lots of good info)
-You very well may Get an interview, who knows (dont know what the trick is anymore).
-As far as QOL goes, living in base makes a huge difference but QOL has been absolutely stellar! Sure we need to improve a bunch of things contractually (Pay, tighten up language, retirement) but the day to day job/crews/airplane/Reserve rules etc are all great. (as far as comparing to other Majors/LCC, I have no idea)
-4 days off (supposed to be 5) other than during the transition is mandatory Sometimes ya even get 5 or 6, lol
Ive been here a year and 4 months, here is my August Schedule. (not much variety in Destinations out of ACY but I bid basically for days/weekends off)

Training pay is $1000/month, with $750 per diem, hotel provided. Training pay continues until finished with IOE. This is about 2.5-3 months. After it's $38/month. First year is pretty tough, without doing anything extra, you can expect take home around $26-30K from day one to day 365, depending on taxes and healthcare coverage.
Year 2 is much nicer!
Spirit is hiring like gangbusters, it's a good time to get on board.

2015 negotiations.
Is SPA gonna set a forum that we can go and discuss negotiations or we have to become members of the spirit pilot web board, since some of "us" have issues on this board?
....I know, I know, go ask the union reps...I'm very lazy.
