Aren't some new hires being sent to Dallas for sims? That would suck if you get DFW and it's the wrong direction.

A wise man might leave his car parked at the Sheltair lot, tip their van driver well and use travel privileges to save the extra driving.

Anybody that has been through training recently, are the A320 cockpit app flows still accurate and useful?

You get access to a similar app for free. Considering the training pay, the $30 for that app might be better spent on PBJs.

It's crowd sourced updates so as soon as something changes somebody from Spirit can go in there and update it. Then in the program you can go in and update the flow to the new one. You can also see Delta's or Frontier's flows too if that gets you off.

Honestly I didn't use the app that much. I paid $30 for it but barely used it. I found the cockpit posters and the flow guide the company gives you immediately after you are hired worked best. Then when you get to class on Day 1 you get access to Ethos which will have a similar trainer on there where you can get a picture of the cockpit and click on each button, switch, knob, etc. and get a detailed description of what they do. But others said the app helped them out a lot so ymmv. Consider it a nice to have but certainly not needed to pass training.

The app is good if you want to work on flows while on the road with your current job.

I already have it I’m more just concerned with how up to date they keep the app with regard to flows. All the captain and FO flows match between the flow guide and the app, however there seem to be differences in the PF, PM flows
