Spirit low paying job?
Spirit pilots make more than probably 80% of the pilots now working for a living, 5 year Capts touch 100K on a regular basis.
I would be tickled to death to make that much. I am reguarily interviewing ex-part 121 pilots with heavy time in the 1000's of hours, college degreees, all the right stuff. USA Jet is thier first interview since lay off in the fall of 2001. These guys are ex-Delta, ex-NWA, ex- Emery, ex-CAL, ex-USAirways, have all expressed a sincere interest in becoming a DA-20 F/O at 33K per year to start. Our guys would go to Spirit in a heartbeat for your pay. The majors are never coming back to their previous form, they are going to redefine along the lines of the successful airline models of low cost trend setters. American is reducing the types in its fleet to reduce the cost of seat movement, that is a redefinition of the major model. It is happening. Spirit is a good job, thank your lucky stars
