When do you receive an ipad from the company? Are your training materials installed on it for studying?

You get the iPad in class. Don't let them bully you into doing night Sims. We're not obligated per the contract. I'll say it again. Any instructor that agrees to do night Sims is on team JS, greedy, and against the pilot group.

Watch it, the instructors have no choice. This month it's in open time so guys can pick it up or choose not to. Next month it's built in the schedules. The instructors don't have the contract protection like the students.

They have a choice. They could quit.

So what I said in the other thread.......we all quit and spirit goes out and finds outside instructors who are non Union, non seniority list and the training keeps going. Sorry your logic is way worse.

Flawed is it? You think you can be replaced so easily? The FAA won't let spirit farm out the instruction so easily. The instructors would have to become familiar with our operation before being approved. It would likely take months with governments glacial pace. I'm angry and bitter. The way I see it instruction at night is the same as guys bailing out the company over and over.

Hey everyone, I had my phone interview earlier this week and got the invite to come down for a Sept 9th interview. I am currently a regional FO and see this as a solid diagonal move. Its not a true move up to something like a major but it is a much better step up from the regionals. I know the pay is nothing compared to what other LLCs and Majors are getting, but 1st year pay is still slight step up from my 2nd year pay. Spirits 2nd year pay is big step up, I would have to be a 5yr+ Ca to make the same amount. Quality of life seems like a pretty important thing for them. I sure hope this works out lol.

Any tips for the interview?
Anyone know what class date they are interviewing for?

Thanks,

Runner

No tips.. Our DO is going to love you. You're most likely instructor material here. They seem to love the new hires for some unknown reason. Make sure to apply as soon as you show up to class.

Don't forget. This is really important. Make sure and volunteer for the 2AM sim. This is the only way to make it through training within the footprint. It's also the only way that we, as pilots, will be able to keep the training in house. The rest is easy.
