Is it true that Spirit reduced the hour requirement for military, but never updated their website?

After reading the posts all the way back to October, I was unable to find out my question. For some reason, I thought I read it somewhere and cannot find it.

Thank you.

Question Written test

Can someone who recently went to an interview tell us if they are still doing the written test. I am not sure if I read it in this read or another one that they were given a written test at the interview and someone had a gouge for it?

But month to month it depends. I sat reserve for December and flew nothing up until Christmas week. The only reason I broke guarantee was because of a Junior Man red-eye that was offered last minute.

This month, I'm crediting over 100. Yay conflict.
For those living in income tax free states (FL, TX, and others) I was told to expect about $2000 a month take home including perdiem for the first year. I was also told that if you live in base you can pick up and make extra money by bringing your line up to 80-85 hours, but for commuters it is difficult. I am willing to work 90 hours a month, but I was told it would be difficult to do that consistently? Is that all accurate information?

Spirit will consider military with 3000 total, that's with no military hour adjustment.

The Interview still consists of an ATP style Written Exam and a Panel Interview.

Depends on where you're based and how quickly you get a Line. Having a Regular or Relief line will determine your ability to Swap, Drop, and Pickup.

About a year ago I was consistently able to credit 90 hours a month, lately it has been much more difficult. Most decent trips in open time don't last 3 minutes it's like guys are sitting in open time waiting for something to drop. That said once you hold a line 80 hours is very doable.

I think our goal should be, to make a decent living, without having to count on consistently breaking guarantee.
While on first year pay, you will be called more for Junior Assignments, which pay double...

FLYINGE,

Yes, they are still doing a written test for the interview.
