Spirit updates

Anyone have an update on Spirit's hiring and growth plans?

I heard all hiring is put on hold for the time being.

On airlinepilotcentral.com they say they're hiring 20 in October. LOL

That's what I was wondering... when are they supposed to be done transitioning all the 80's to the busses? I figured there would not be any hiring til that is all complete. Are the expansion plans on hold?

I know ... I know...

Take it for what its worth..



RUMOR is Douggie Parker from USAirways/AWA is looking for airlines to buy.

Heard it from a friend of a friend...

MD last flight is mid Sept. Transition classes are still going on. A/C utilitization is increasing, thus the need for more bodies. Currentally calling appilcants for mid Oct. class.

Is it " who you know " to get a call from there?

What's the upgrade time right now? What bases are newhires getting?

There are not any new hires yet. If you get one of the two Oct. classes you will have a choice of the two, I think. To respond to others that have posted: Fact they are not suspending pilot or flight attendent classes. The temp. sususpention of hirighing is on the corp.side.
