ohh, and btw - spirit at age 22? i call BS. Sure it's a ********************ty airline to fly for, but not that young when there's so many guys on the street.

what- did his trust fund daddy belong to the same country club as the hiring manager? What a puke.
 
So can anyone see what this kid will be like instructing again???? "I flew for the big leagues and know the ropes" "This cessna isnt anything like the airbus." and so on.
 
Actually Humpty Diddle did a small Ab-Initio program with the Riddlers to see if they could go from a Chickenhawk to an Airbus and succeeded, except there was one problem!!! Spirit was not the best choice for a career airline...
 
its actually "william" not "liam" in the faa database

Are we bored?
 


nah, just curious of his background and what he may have been typed in before spirit. 23 is very young to be hired to fly a 320. thoguht he mighve been flying GA jets before he got to spirit.

it also seems he just got his cfi. no other types. maybe its a renewal, but maybe he nevee cfi'ed.
 
The A320 must be a really easy airplane. All those FMS 101 classes they do at emory dribble sitting hours at a time on a simulated flight really paid off for the guy.

Spirit was hiring people directly from Riddle during the "shortage."

I am not defending this at all, however here are the facts as I remember...

Spirit hired 8 ERAU people because the DO, at the time, was a ERAU graduate and he thought it would be nice to give something back to ERAU.

The 8 were given 100 hours of IOE, which they planned for, I think one went over the 100 hours.

They had to fly with a check airman once a month or every other month or something like that to track their proficiency. They were scheduled to have a PC at 6 months and one at 12 months again to check their proficiency.

Man,that's pretty bad when half your multi time was IOE.
