Odds are if you show up you're hired. The applicate pool is low and with the growth model change people aren't beating down the doors anymore. They are calling people to interview that never attended a job fair. Choose wisely my friend!

If you have a pulse and 2,000 hours you should be good. In a few months they'll be hiring at ATP mins, trying to compete with the regionals offering higher first year pay and an upgrade opportunity. If you live in base and have minimal career expectations, you'll be happy.

Why? In the 2008 recession Spirit did layoff like the legacies (UA, AA). No offense, but being first year Spirit and laid off, you could go to a regional and get a payraise. IMO rather be at a legacy as 14,999 if the economy is gonna implode than at a LCC. Because you will be recalled back and then where would you rather be? Recalled back at 3rd year pay at a legacy still a better long run option.

It's a hot topic with S.F. and the training department about the pilot hiring issues. Pilots are better off staying at their RJ jobs!! The pool is running on empty! "Howdy" 12 hours days during indoc, 6 days straight with 1 day off then another 5 days on before you get 2 off. Spirit wants you to stay during training and NOT go home for the complete 6 (7 weeks for some) week foot print. They don't give you non-rev for 90 days? You can't get home because they keep you out of CASS too!! Don't ask about O.E. We had guys get 2 days off then right into O.E. Guys were ****ed off.

I could be wrong but, if you get recall back you don't go to year 3 pay like you claim. Let's say you got hired at UAL in 2001... 6 months later you get furlough, and you get recall in 2007-2008, you don't jump to 6-7 year pay. You go back to your old "longevity" year, which in thos case is year 1 pay, when you get recalled. Just because he wants to be at NK rather than a Delta, United or American, doesn't means he made a bad choice. His choice may not match yours.
