3. Pay, see the pay section of APC - new hires receive $1750 per month.

4. Min Guarantees, 72 hours per month line holder and reserve - 4.5 hrs per duty period (multi day trips) - 4 hrs per duty pd (single duty period trips) - 4.2/1 duty rig - $2.15 or so per diem

8. 100% Dead head pay

12. Hours of service: the usual - no schedules built with less than ten hours off in base, 9 actual - 9 hours out of base - a full calender day in domicile vs 24/7 anywhere - no scheduled days over 14 hrs, extendable to 16 - no scheduled duty over 11.5hrs for duty periods that include any of the time between 0100 to 0400 domicile time, extendable to a max of 12.5 hours - min of 13 days off per monthly bid period - no circadian rhythm protections, i.e. finish day one at midnight get 24 hours off and start the next day at midnight.

14. Sick leave. 4 hours per month accrual

25. Scheduling. Line bidding, No pref bid - all lines built with all day off blocks of four or more (no one on one off three on three off etc) -
month to month conflict can not be more than six days total, all else is dropped - No junior manning, [(they have to call you on your designated contact number vs jetway or ACARS junior manning you) (except 200% pay exists for being junior manned which creates huge intra pilot group conflicts)] - industry leading commuter clause (non jeopardy)

26. General. pilots don't do anything but pilot (and monitor fueling :rolleyes: )

27. Insurance. up in the air due to Affordable Healthcare Act, but generally a great deal compared to say, JetBlue.

28. Retirement. None other than a 8% 401K match.

Don't come here if your willing to monitor fueling on your time. I didn't go on strike and walk away from my job for the company to break the agreement we came to. Read what the contract states about fueling. Sorry if that sounds harsh, until you go on strike and are treated how we were treated before the strike you won't understand. My point is don't come here giving mgmt free labor, because it won't end with the fueling. That I can promise you.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned but the crews (so far anyway) are great to work with, really good people. It's nice to not want to jump out the window on a trip :), and if your going to be away from home, might as well spend it with good guys/gals

Gate agents are really friendly, not something I'm used to either, lol

How's the QOL while on reserve at Spirit? Is there a long call reserve?

I've done some searching on here, not really coming up with a whole lot of info
