Spirit Airlines: Updates

That what I hear from my internal source. Been waiting for 3 years now for something to happen.

If you really want to work here, your persistence will pay off. In the interim, keep working on AA, UA and DL. You may hear from them first!

Option 2 doesn't work as well as it used to. Go with option 1.

Thats what the Spirit Airbus Captain that i met at jury duty recommended I do.

It's good advice. Two years ago, an email and phone call from a line pilot could speed the process along for an applicant. Now, unless that line pilot is extremely well connected with management, it simply is not the case. Option 1 (job fair) is your best bet.

Took me almost two years to get in, no job fair, numerous internal recs.

Took me a year and a half. No job fair (there weren't any then) but an internal rec.

Anyone have an idea as to how long the average wait is after you send in the long app? If and when the next part happens it's a cog test right? Got sent the long app a couple of weeks ago and sent it in the next day. Haven't heard anything yet. For some reason I thought I saw somewhere that it usually pretty quick but now I can't find it. Thanks.

A year or two ago it was quick - usually a few days. Now it can be out to a few months to seemingly never. Sorry, but that's the best answer I can give.

I received the long app back in November, sent it back the next day and have not heard a peep. I don't think there is any average time.
