Thanks for the info guys. This info may be somewhere in the last 170 pages but can anyone briefly tell me what to expect when talking with Spirit at the job fair? Tell me about your experience? Why Spirit type of thing? Or does it get pretty detailed. Thanks again for sharing

Hey Guys
I filled out the Spirit App again after about applying 2 years ago. It never asked for flight times and I can't figure out how to upload a new resume. I just copied and pasted it into the box. I did get the assessment and completed that. Is it normal not to have questions about your flight time? Thanks

I don't mean to be offensive. I'm really just curious if any regional Captains are still coming here. And if anyone with options would come here. Guys hired by mid 15 might be okay but I'm really surprised anyone is applying much less paying for a job fair anymore.
I honestly just want to know what's going through new applicants minds.

Also many of my friends at NK are pretty happy with their QOL even though pay is below average.
NK is better than your regional. Great. Looks like EuroCreeps plan is working.
I just hope the NC has the stones to fix this mess.
NK has the real possibility of being a great career choice. But it's honestly a coin toss today. I haven't met anyone hired after 2014 (and many mid level captains) that isn't applying elsewhere.
FYI as a new hire you won't get health insurance for 90 days (that's not too far off industry norm), you can't commute home for the entire time in training (6 weeks +/-) and you'll make about $900. (UA guys get 90 hrs at year one pay per month $8000ish) Just be ready for that.
Good luck to you.
