I didn't necessarily mean flows, I was more talking about systems, automation philosophy and the like. There is plenty of material available out there for that. For example, there is an oral exam video from UAL that I, for one, found very helpful. SmartCockpit - Airline training guides, Aviation, Operations, Safety has all the systems stuff. I'm not saying NK couldn't do more to help new hires, my point is more that one can prepare him/herself better, should one so desire. Now, I'll fully admit to being somewhat of an airplane nerd who's spent time on smartcockpit just for fun, but still...

The reasons on why someone may choose to come to Spirit are different from you, me and the other guy.
In my personal experience, I have flown with very senior guys who are happy with Spirit. I’m sorry to say, I have not flown with anyone that shares your opinion. Yes they all agree on various issues that will improve this place. But overall, the guys and ladies I have flown with are content, and thats not to say they don’t want better.

Really dude? The COMPANY should provide the new hires with the appropriate content and ample time for them to study prior to coming. Scratch that... the company should provide new hires a realistic timeline and training structure starting on their first day of training that allows success without studying prior to starting class. Stop being a d-bag and making excuses for this place.

The moral isn't all that bad here. I actually enjoy working for Spirit. Yeah the contract negotiations are frustrating and we deserve a lot more pay but that will come. I and others do not want to go to United, Delta, etc. Don't follow all the doom and gloom from frustrated internet warriors. Go out and actually talk to Spirit pilots. Yes training is intense but study and you will do fine. I wish our management could run this airline like Southwest and that is my dream that this place could be the future Southwest.

Do people lose credibility if they have a hard time composing an error free sentence?
