Naw, I think a kiwi type color would work best!

I hope everyone takes the company's advice and takes care of family and home first. Don't leave your family to help move metal for this low class mgmt team

ACY maintenance tech shared 10+ aircraft may be repositioned to ACY. All aircraft to get weekly checks - maintenance base. Who's ready to help?

ACY is full of Fng *****s so I'm sure they won't have a problem.

I'm sure they'll get quality checks up there too when the storm comes and they are working on the airplanes outside in 60mph winds and heavy rain.

Fng idiots

Just wait for the email from Euro-over asking to help out and offering high fives! Tell VC to move a plane...if that's possible!

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

If it makes you feel better, over 3 years ago, "don't worry about that... you'll learn that on the line" was the standard reply to any question. Sucks you're stuck down in Florida while everyone else in the training department/management gets to go home to their families. Make sure you're stocked up on beer is all I can recommend.

Keep your apps updated and get out as quickly as you can. This place isn't going to get any better any time soon!
