Well, you'll get ACY right away, most of the captains are cool, trips are okay, usually a lot of open time to change your schedule around, parking is literally a two minute walk to the terminal (if that). If you're okay with being an FO for at least 6 years, come on over.
I used to flight instruct at RJ Miller.

This info might be a bit outdated...but one of my friends I flew with in ACY with Skyking went to Spirit in 2012 and only sat right seat for maybe 2 years. He's a Capt in ACY now enjoying his day turns to Florida.

It's been going that way for a while now. Until we announce a fresh order of airplanes we hired our last "fast" upgrade "3 year" captain well over a year ago.
We have zero airplanes in order outside of the ones we've already had for a few years. Will that change? Maybe. Maybe not.
Just be prepared to sit in the right seat for a long time if you come here.
Plan for the worst, hope for the best. But with our current brain trust in Miramar, I wouldn't even hope that much.

It's not "all of a sudden"

Thank you... I don't know why it is so hard to understand this for some people. The upgrade is at around 3 years for those who got hired 3 years ago. Upgrade if you get hired tomorrow will be a loooong time unless we get an airplane order. Which I think we probably will, but the upgrade will still be more than 3 years.
thanks for the info btw

Maybe take a look at Spirit investor relations.....

Your seniority will be much better at a legacy. Just look at the numbers.
