Yes, I can agree with that but the response didn't help anyone. Trust me I'm still waiting to hold LAS A350 CA

What's it looking like hours and experience wise to get in currently?

How has PBS been playing out for people? I have PBS where I am currently and don't mind it if you know how to use it.

I also like to travel in my off time, how hard is it to get around on-line since the load factors have to be high given the market strategy?

Thanks yall
Come on guys be nice he’s spent a whole year at the regionals and ready to make the jump to our IAH base!

Sure, come on over. PBS is great here, we give 10 FTD’s and 10 full sims for training. We also have AQP, makes it a real learning environment.
First year probationary pay is $110 hr. and you will get your IAH base right out of training as well as hold a line the following month. Oh, and the upgrade time is only 1.5 yrs right now. So you better get your app in fast.
And don't forget you get some cool layovers on the beach like POS that is supposed to be announced soon.

Yeah, obviously it was way over your head to understand.
There are thousands of pages and posts here on Spirit. All one has to do is go back a few pages to get an understanding of what is going on.

So that makes it way over my head? Because you want to be a DK about someone making an uneducated post? His post was stupid because he didn't do his homework, your post was stupid because you responded just to be an A$$-hole and contributed nothing. Dang you're so far over my head bro, how will I ever catch up to your greatness? . Anyways...... go back to being a typical APC scumbag.

So I was indeed mistaken about the IAH base, I know a couple handful of guys who live there and work for yall not to mention the amount of flying done out of there... just seemed like it was outside of the obvious ones like ACY, LAS, DTW, FLL, etc.

No need to be a f&^%ing dick though... I've done my research which is why this move would be good, figured I'd reach out for some more input and continue doing my homework.. Answer the questions, I don't need the side ****. Thanks.

Outside of that, thank you to those who actually have provided beneficial information. Karma is a b%^&h that's all I have to say.

I saw someone mentioned the agreement with SWA which is pretty cool, I'm assuming that's bottom of the list STBY?

You seem like a good dude and I hope you get on here but to be honest you kind of teed it up for them. Best of luck and I hope to see you on the line soon. Despite all of our quirks we have a 1st class pilot group here at Spirit. Hopefully your hire date will be paired with an IAH crew base announcement

If you did your "homework" you would know that we don't have an IAH base and after only a year at the regionals you have a close to zero shot. Don't get all mad at us because you came in here looking dumb lol.
