No pilot group can be forced to work overtime PERIOD, just because they did before contract negotiations. If you read the court ruling in regards to spirt it was against alpa and pilots encouraging people not to fly. A single pilot can tell someone whatever they want. But the court ruling was for alpa to encourage status quo and that's it. Grow a pair and Status Quo my ass.
For the record, I don't fly for Spirit and never have flown for Spirit. Neither DALPA nor APA suggested that pilots stop flying overtime prior to those rulings.

My recommendation to all Spirit pilots is to get hired at one of the big 4. Spirit's management has always treated their employees like crap. How long did Spirit drag their feet on getting flight crews KCM?

alpa negotiating strategy.....do nothing and bully your members to work on their days off and threaten them that if they don't they won't get a contract and it will be their fault........seems logical....take my 2%

That's exactly what they want. They don't have to stall when we do it for them. No infighting! How about go to a unity event or call a rep and find out why you're getting these types of emails instead of making inflammatory posts that will only hurt the group with respect to the real goal. You wanna start calling for heads now, contract 2030

I saw your username several times in the TRO. You'd think you might have learned something from that experience, but apparently you haven't. Get off this site. You are a cancer to this pilot group

Hiring question; please refrain from telling me to stay away or asking if I have even been following the current climate because I have. My situation and current situation align me with a different need and vision for the long term. With the disclaimer out of the way, my question is this:
I took the online assessment a week ago yesterday and haven't heard anything from HR; does this lapse clue me in that I was unsuccessful or does it take a little longer to hear and move on to the next phase?

Thank you in advance for the constructive assistance!

I think I read a few pages back that there is no rhyme or reason why some hear back within a couple of days vs a couple of months. I'd say if 3 months pass and you don't hear anything then you aren't going to. I wish they'd send applicants an email saying "we looked at your resume and we aren't interested at this time" when they don't make the cut. Good luck

I took my second assessment a week ago and haven't heard back yet. I was hoping to hear something this week.

You have no clue what you're taking about and just plain low class. The TRO actually highlights the biggest flaw in the pilot group and how the Company operates. Clearly when a pilot pulls 150 hrs of credit it directly relates to staffing and it gives the Company the ability to operate with fat profit margins and understaffed. Grow up, you're way over your head if you're worried about a TRO. You should get out there and high time fly so you can earn at market rates! Go earn that "High five"! I'll fly the contract and stay within the FAR's. If you can't handle that move on.
