Spirit Questions

N2F Thanks for the info

Internal recommendations trump flight time.

N2F

I have all the requirements but the total time. only have 2300 tt but very good recommendation. could they call me even though i dont meet flight time yet?

 

[Redhot99]

I'm in the same boat. I don't think there is a any chance of an interview without the tt unless you are in their training dept. Just got to fly that last couple of hours.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

I've got a friend with over 8000 TT and approximately 2000 PIC turbojet, only one type but lives in S. Florida. He has not gotten a call. All 135, no 121. Has the four year degree as well.

Mr. I.

did they mention how many planes for the year?

They mentioned 70+ new hires for the year. Nobody mentioned any specifics past then, but I am sure there will be more.

There's no rhyme or reason to who's getting called. I have a friend that just upgraded in the ERJ (barely 3500 hours) and got called. Another with 8500 TT, 5000 Jet PIC, current in the 74, with a rec, hasn't heard a thing. So, who knows... It's all about waiting patiently, I guess. Everything happens for a reason...

At Spirit inside reco's are much more important the the college degree.

 

[fahlguy]

just wondering if most of new hires going to fll

 

[RedGuy]

From what I hear they want people that already live in Detroit or FLL. I've had my app on line for a couple months but am only at bare mins, one of my co-workers has 6,000hrs and hasn't gotten a call. Sounds like your chances are alot better if you know some one.

Internal recs are HEAVILY weighted.

do you know some one in there?

 

[RedGuy]

do you know some one in there?

Yes, my mother works there, but in reservations so I don't think that helps much. I'm also acquainted with one of their pilots, but I've yet to take a resume down there.

 

[Shrek]

Well there ya go........

I think you know what to do.

Is Spirit paying crap wages just like Allegiant?
