Those who are trying... Keep the faith. This is without question the best aviation job I've ever had, and the future is bright.

Just like me, without the job fair I would've had no shot at Spirit.

No 121 time, low hours and didn't know anyone here.

Congrats Lobaeux. I'm just wondering what do you consider low time? And what were your qualifications when you got hired?

Thanks!
I was hired with no 121 time, 3800 total. I attended two job fairs and was lucky enough to be called after the second.

My quals were ATP, instructor pilot, evaluator pilot, four year degree, military.

Well, yes, I did have some help!

My point was, I got hired on without being ""SuperPilot".

You could also get DFW, DTW, or ORD by the time you complete OE.

Bros: I'm looking at both Spirit and Jetblue and VirginAmerica as a next step after flying regionals. I have read good things about spirit and everyone here seems to really love the place. Jetblue just voted I'm a union and I hear awesome stuff about that place too. Same with VirginAmerica but I m concerned with their being kinda risky. Would you guys do anything different In your career paths after now being at spirit? I guess I was kinda weighting it between spirit and Jb and it looks like Jb may be a good place to be now with representation. Of course I Need to fly a couple more years at my current regional (Expressjet). I'm looking at two more years I think. What do you think spirit will look like then. Any attrition? How zBout growth? Thanks
