Someone that took Jyri's advice -- "if you want United's pay, go to United!" If United, Delta or American only knew, the easiest way to put spirit out of business, is not by matching our prices, just hire our pilots and FAs. They get rid of spirit and get pilots already trained and current to fly their A320! Then when spirit goes bankrupt they can get all these brand new airplanes for cheap; just the cost of a new paint job. We go the extra mile being paid this little, imagine how far we would go for an airline that paid like the legacies!
But I do agree, offer a guaranteed interview for any current Spirit pilot and watch and see how many would interview and leave. It would actually be pretty funny to watch.

AA wouldn't do that. They need to leave room for their 2,000hr "squadron" buddies and the guys who have flown Dash 8a at Peidmont the last 15 years to "flow over"

Legacy hiring has been co-opted by twenty-something's with BA's in HR from the University of Phoenix who don't give a damn if you're a current and typed A-320 pilot.
But they'd love to hear about your volunteer work....

You can say if you're typed and current, and get hired to another airline flying the same equipment, it'll be harder for you to shake your former procedural habits which is a problem.
You hire the person, not the type.
I can see how it can be different in the corporate world where some insurance requires time in type.

Because it proves you have the discipline, focus, and aptitude to get through the course and fly the plane on the line, even if it's not the exact same type you'll be assigned. It's the rationale that's been used for decades to justify hiring military pilots. Admittedly not a fail-safe screening tool but IMO more relevant than a lot of the stuff they seem to be looking for nowadays.

I think they've earned it after getting a college degree + decades of service, over a high school grade that went to comair academy.

I guess I meant to say, what does it matter if you're typed and current on an A320.

It should matter, for a prospective interview candidate, that you're flying the A320 or similar. But, it seems, it doesn't matter so much, in terms of Legacy hiring......was my point

The blanket statement of an applicant with an a320 type is more focused, disciplined, apt than an application without one is not really an argument.

Our ****ty N/C is already doing a fantastic job of dividing us. They refuse to fix the "slope" because it just wouldn't be fair if the senior CAs already making significantly more than junior CAs only get a smaller raise.
Someone mentioned "amateur hour" above. That's our MEC with their BS plan of forcing Ackerman on us as well as our N/C not having God---------- clue.
Completely disgraceful.
Everyone needs to look up
"Duty of fair representation"
Ackerman is for himself and the N/C is for the 15 year guys. Wake up people
