Most Junior CA in DFW 11/7/2011 hire. I just looked at FLiCA quickly. It may be slightly more junior than that. I can't even look up the hire date of the bottom FO in DFW. She was not on the last Seniority list from January. Looks like 50 from the bottom. So bottom 5%. Can't be more than 3 months. Probably less. Chances of anything closing is slim per the COO. This came up in recurrent not so long ago as a question. DFW is such a central location that it works really well. If it is closing we are all applying elsewhere. QOL in base is good except LAS where it always starts with a transcon red eye. But guys over there like it. QOL commuting is... well... is that ever good?

Bottom FO in DFW is a feb 3 2014 hire, awarded DFW on the march bid before he/she finished training.

What about DTW? Is it currently junior? Any idea how long the hiring is expected to continue?

DTW is a bit less junior. Bottom FO is may be January/February hire. I am just guessing. According to the cool aid suppliers hiring is going to continue for a long time.

Of course it is just that... a plan... I have experienced that plan changing, right here at NK, in the past... it wasn't fun.

I got DTW right out of training, I'm also a 2/3 hire.

LOL, sounds like the industry standard plan of "hire until we need to furlough".

Nothing new, timing is everything and it's never fun, no matter where you're at.

I have submitted my application-or rather think I have submitted my application but when I click the "submit" button, the page always goes to an error page. Same goes for when I register. Does Spirit's web page just not work well with Apple products? Maybe I will try on company or hotel computer, but then I cannot really upload a resume either. Weird.
