Guys, I just wanted to advise anyone who is interested in Spirit to really pursue other options. I too thought an airline that sells its own tickets must be better than my regional but what this company has put me through in newhire class is inexcusable. I wasn't going to sign up on here and post in fear of retaliation but I just don't care anymore. I'm feeling like taking this job is one of the biggest mistakes of my career.
Training here has become an absolute cluster-----.
First of all, most pilots here like myself have families and understanding our benefits is a very important detail. For HR to cancel FOUR TIMES is just absolute BS. Being told Schedulers would come in and explain what goes on in their dept etc and how it could effect us etc never show up is also BS. As Newhire I have no idea how to enroll in benefits, how to bid, or generally do anything else that is usually taught day 1 in basic Indoc.
Yes I had a midnight Sim and no I did not know I was able to say no. Not the end of the world because the instructors have been very helpful and all around great. Same with the pilots I have met. The complete and total lack of communication is just down right unbelievable.
The F/As were all sent home due to the hurricane and we were told training was suspended. Great, we all thought we could go home and see our families.......nope. we are stuck here until training figures out what to do with us. They knew the fng storm was coming and yet they decided to just not answer the numerous emails and phone calls looking for a little direction.
Anyway. I cant update my apps quick enough and I'm not even typed in the Airbus yet. Take my advice and wait for Allegiant, JBlue, or a legacy to call.
Its just not worth it and has put a tremendous amount of unnecessary stress on all of us.
cheers

Sorry about this. This place really is a miserable sh======t hole. I refuse to help anyone get on and steer everyone away when they ask.

Guys, if you want real change vote for MH in the upcoming 109 election. We can't afford to loose this opportunity. The incumbent, outgoing 109 captain rep stands for the status quo.

To the new hires, don't hesitate to reach out to a fellow pilot or ALPA. I don't live en south Florida, but I'm willing to help in anyway I can. Just PM.
