My Indoc class consisted of almost all RJ captains, a couple check airmen, a few corporate guys and a wide body cargo pilot. Times 4,000 hours to 25,000 hours. This was fall of 2015.

How times have changed. In a recent interview group only 3 out of 12 candidates had any part 121 time at all. Some others had neither 121 nor jet time.
3 years ago new hire classes were full of heavy drivers, RJ CA's, line check airmen, occasional military, etc...
Out of necessity Frontier just signed a flow-through agreement with Silver and Great Lakes. Spirit can't be far behind.

I'm thinking part of this has to do with the majority of the regionals, have some sort of flow or guarantee interview with the legacies. Spirit may not see as many regional guys. I still don't Spirit will have a hard time filling classes, at least not for a few years.

What about 6420TT, 250TPIC, 2880 in Airbus as SIC, 121 Experience, South & Central America experience, ATP & ICAO license , English & Spanish, same training at AFG (Spirit Training Center), no fails, no criminal records, no driving tickets, all records clear.... and nothing.

Its a good question...people "assume" that Spirit will hire anyone with hours and experience in the Airbus, this isnt close to being accurate. Granted there are those who incorrectly post on here about "having a pulse is all you need" or "they are afraid you will leave."
You still have to play the game of a few internal recommendations and having a job fair under your belt will definitely help.
I would rather hire someone with less experience but has shown initiative to get the job, versus someone who submits an impressive resume and expects the offer to come flying in.
If you have done a job fair and submitted some LOR, that is a different story.
