If you believe that working at this place is going to enhance your resume for the majors, you are sorely mistaken. Of the 2000 guys ++ hired at the majors so far this year, maybe 30 were from Spirit. Lol your chances are 1.5 %. Or less.

Can't say it's not at least a partly deserved reputation, with some bad apples spoiling the whole bunch. But hey, how can we blame the pilot whose customer service ambassador was the guy who coined "let them tell the world how bad we are!"?

Heard exactly this from Aero Crew Solutions 3 years ago, at least as it pertains to Delta. Our company's customer service woes are world-renowned and it's believed it may carry over to the pilot culture. After all, lot of pilots can fly, but how much customer service experience do we have?

Unlike our worthless short-term rent-a-management, Spirit pilots by and large have a vested interest in keeping this ship afloat, and we go out of our way to assist the flying public, our passengers, the very people who make our mortgages and boat payments and college tuitions possible.
Our leadership team might be amateurs, but the Pilot group has always been the epitome of the "consummate professional."

This is total nonsense. I don't believe this for a second, and neither should you.

Hey I agree with the guy. I love our passengers and am not lost on the fact that they pay my mortgage and many spirit pilot boat payments. My point was a bit of a joke but also if we were getting industry standard compensation many pilots could pay cash for their boats and not have the burden of a monthly payment.
