Need some input from you guys please. I have an interview with Spirit and I am currently one of the many longtime fo's at Eagle. I want to leave Eagle as bad as anyone, but to do so for Spirit leaves me with some questions. I live in my base and hold whatever schedule that I want, however I have grown very tired of being at the mercy of the Eagle ways. I understand that Spirit is opening a base in SJU, which concerns me since I will be junior of course. I have already done one tour of duty there when I was hired with Eagle, and I am not to excited about doing it again. It would be a pay cut for me as well which would be tough as I have no rich relatives to help me out. I know that they are going to double the fleet in the next 4 years so upgrade potential is good at Spirit. I saw that the gaurantee is 72 hrs a month, how common is it to fly more than the 72 hrs, has 72 hrs straight pay is not good for me in the first year. My hourly rate at Eagle is not as good as 1st year at Spirit, however, I get over 90 hrs pay every month. The recruiter said after my interview they are not going to hire for a while in 2008, so I would be junior for a while. This is one thing in FLL, however, a whole different thing in SJU.(I know this from experience) Any input from Spirit guys would be greatly appreciated!
