Spirit?

[huncowboy]

You have a cafeteria? Where do you fly? I'm now hungrily interested!

You remind me of EMBskillz. Is that you?

Nah. I've got no skillz. Was he charming and witty like me?

Why are they hiring regional Fo's and not people with turbine PIC? Does the place suck that much? I know a ton of captains who have applied and no call and I see here online guys with no turbine pic what give? Cheap labor?

I can't imagine why they wouldn't hire you with this attitude.

I have 3 types no failed checkrides and 1000 pic turbine. I have applications out maybe I should start a thread over on a few boards where I would like to work. I am ENTITLED to a job. Give me a break. Have some class.

 

[SeaCow]

Hey George Dubya good to see you can move over to the LLC board and mange to piss them off too! Go back to PQI and continue to be a tool, where the internet doesn't work and we dont have to deal with YOU!

 

[Fedora]

Folks I know of that went to Spirit after being furloughed never came back.
I met a bunch training for the Bus in MIA, and everyone seemed happy to be there.
It's their ball and their bat, so I'd say the hiring minimums and decisions are up to them. You are on the outside looking in. Do airlines make exceptions to their rules? I think so. I do know one thing, and that is you'll never get a job that you don't apply for.
I'd get rid of the chip on the shoulder before showing up, though. Just my .02

Hi!

My buddy just got hired, and he is a Regional capt-he had about 1200-1400 PIC turbine-mostly jet, but some tprop. He has about 4000 TT.

Fu horn go fly your 172!

You are a stud. I will walk your stuff into Spirit if you want. I really don't see why you havent gotten hired elsewhere with your great attitude.

 

[Raskal]

Maybe they are being smart and are getting tired of the FO's getting typed and running at the first chance...

 

[Mike November]

Smart would be not typing people day 1. That's like giving a girl your credit card on the first date. No bueno.

Hiring Riddle grads definetly isn't the answer.

 

[GOULET!]

I know a bunch of low time FOs (less than 2500TT and 0 PIC) that have gotten hired there. Also know a few high time folks that got rejected. Their plan is simple...hire low time people with little or no PIC time so they have nowhere else to go. Unless they really feel like somebody is going to stay, they aren't going to take high time applicants cause they are the ones that are going to bolt at the first chance. I don't see them changing their hiring practices anytime soon.

 

[mvedepo]

Due to the fact that so many Spirit pilots have left for "greener" pastures one of the thoughts is that they are hiring low time FO's because they wont be able to bail. Not sure if this is true, just something I have heard.

Maybe they shouldn't rearrange domiciles around and expect people to just pick up and move.

It is all to save money and reduce costs...hotel costs not being one of those costs since there seem to be just as many DTW, ACY, LGA and SJU overnights for FLL crews...smart, really smart.

I say for anyone wanting to come here save your effort for FedEx or UPS since all we seem to do is red eye turns just like FedEx and UPS but we make 60% less.

Of course it's to save costs. Just don't expect people to go along with it. As far as those redeyes...for 40K/yr....the riddlebrats can have it.
