Thanks for your reply. The idea is to commute to South Florida but trying to balance how feasible it’d be and how much it will cost me. How do you apply to the spirit program? And how long is the flow assuming you meet the req?

It would be a weekly commute to an in base crash pad - and fly commuting on a duty day isn’t generally possible. A 4 on 4 off schedule is typical.

Do you have any more details on the Spirit Program? Is it just a guarantee interview at spirit or is it a more favorable interview? Also has there been a good success rate? Thanks

From FL you could commute to San Juan Boston or St Louis reasonably... but would kill some of your off time.

I believe Spirit requires 2 years service in good standing as a captain...

Anyone here currently mid-west based? Looks like Cape just lost their DEC route to Skywest. Have a couple of questions about the other bases before I go into my January class.
