I am not sure I understand your comment.

How can I understand the daily life of a Spirit pilot if I do not ask how the schedule is?
Yes there are different kind, but all I am asking if for examples.

At least someone posted a schedule some posts ago, which was nice to do, to get an idea of what a month may look like. Now, all I am asking for is how the days ON may look like.

Thanks.

I think his comment is directed more towards you should be asking how to get on with spirit rather than what the QOL is like here. It's not so easy to get on here and you can't just expect to apply online and get an interview call the next day.

We have line bidding here so it's not as easy to tell you what the schedules are like.

Got it.
I should find out how to get on, and THEN, find out on the QOL.

Problem is, which came first? Chicken or the egg?
How can I find out if I should even apply if I don't find out how the company treats its pilots?

And it's a lot easier to find gouges on the net than finding the QOL of a company, so anyway....

Thanks RonnyK320 for the pic. Exciting indeed!

I don't think it was a dumb question, but I think you should look at how many people are applying at Spirit, and how hard it is to get hired right now, and assume that the schedules are pretty good. If they weren't, this thread wouldn't even exist. I only worked 4 days in November...

I'll put it this way: while I'd love to work at any Major airline, I don't think there's a single airline out there that could equal the quality of life I have right now at Spirit. Could that change? Sure could, but in my current situation, as a first airline military retiree, I can't imagine a better place to work at.

Thanks!

Just to pour out a little more Kool-Aid, the crews (which can make or break your sanity at work) have been awesome. A few weirdos but still really nice and always willing to shoot the breeze, grab food on the overnight etc.........

FAs are usually great but the ones who look like they want to party seem to never fly with me I get the girls who flew the Convairs
