I don't know how the new TPIC requirement will effect the job fair. I mean there was 250 tickets and the take a number list shows 217 people. I wonder if they even sold 250 tickets. The next fair they are only selling 200 tickets.

 

500 TPIC is not a new requirement. Also, I know people who are looking to buy tickets from other pilots because they are sold out, so I'm not sure where you got that info.

 

For the military guys, 3000TT, 500 TPIC, NO military conversion, use your hours off your AFORMS printouts.
PM for questions.

 

Aerocrews website only lists 217 pilots on the take a number list. They said they would sell 250 tickets. There were tickets left like a week into sales then they stopped selling.

I know 500 TPIC isn't a requirement, but it is to go to a job fair and it seems a job fair is the high percentage chance of getting hired. So, take it for what its worth.

 

Not sure if it's sold out but I have a ticket for the FLL Spirit job fair if anyone is interested. The price is the same as advertised.

Thanks

 

Did you get hired? If so congratulations.

 

Unfortunately not by Spirit.

I am unable to take off work for this one. But I will be looking forward to the next one in the spring.

Good luck to all of you who are going.

 

I have a ticket for sale if anyone interested. Also can not get the time off of work.

 

I am in need of a ticket for the FLL job fair on 11/7/14. If anybody has on for sale, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

 

Best wishes to the job fair attendees and interviewees.
I agree with the aforementioned, that anyone hired in 2015 will be a captain very soon.
The question is what happens after 2015?
If management intends to continue hiring from a large pool of applicants, they must realize that quick upgrades, and exponential growth will no longer apply.
This may be a valid point during our upcoming negotiations.
Pay should be the key issue. Pay which is going to attract a competitive applicant, who is looking at much lengthier FO pay rates.
Although I do not bid for it and rarely get it, I support the transition conflict, out of respect for the ones which depend on it financially.
However this brings up another point.
We should not have to spend hours bidding, or jumping on the phone to make industry wages.
The only $ guarantee is 72 x pay rate.
When I applied for a loan, they did not count overtime.
My income was rate x 12 x 72.

In the end, it is a question of supply.
Since demand is known to be decreasing.
