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

these are the rumors that trickle down to us at the regionals. not sure how true it is but i keep hearing spirit asks in their interview "what will you do if we hire you and delta calls you in a year?"..from the tone of my posts I'm guessing this isn't true

It's ridiculous that they are asking that question to anyone interviewing today. If you say you wouldn't leave you're lying and if you say you would you probably won't be hired. I answered truthfully and said at this point in time (then) I wouldn't leave. With today's order book, today's contract, delta and uniteds current contracts there is no way I could answe that truthfully. As a new hire it's a no brainer.
The question is just routine for them and they need to stop asking it.

I told them the truth. I said at my age I am not interested in jumping around from airline to airline. I am looking for a home. If I am hired at Spirit I will pull all my resumes from other airlines so it won't even be an issue. Job offer a couple days later. I pulled all my resumes from other airlines the day I got the job offer. I have since renewed them and will keep them up to date until we ratify an industry standard contract.

I'm in agreement that having Spirit on my resume is a hindrance.

Ha. I have my app in at Southwest, Delta, American, and United, and haven't heard a peep. 6500 total, 1200 pic, 320 737 145 type, degree, volunteer work. I know several others that are in same boat, while my friends at regionals with similar credentials are getting picked up left and right.
