Spirit is a big boy airline and you’re treated as such. Welcome.

They will book you on whoever serves your airport.

Thank you for the info. Didn’t try to create anything, just trying to get some help for the situation I’m dealing with now. Appreciate your input.

Thank you for your reply. Actually that was the answer I got. A little surprised myself. But now I know it’s possible. Really appreciate it!

Has your mentor contacted you? Do you have access to alpa yet? If so, contact your mentor or send a dart. You can also call the phone tree and speak with the duty chief. This is unacceptable.

Wow.
I’ve flown with a lot of awfully green FOs over the past couple years, new to the bus, new to big jets, new to 121, new to flying above 3000 feet. I’ve had the same conversations over and over again. I’ve had a couple, I’ll call them ‘teachable moments’ when potentially flight critical mistakes were made but the error was trapped and a more serious discussion followed. While there have been a few with a subpar attitude, I haven’t flown with a single one who falls into the category of “the chief pilot needs to be called because that guy shouldn’t be flying”. The FO in question on this thread doesn’t deserve that either. That any pilot, especially one so new themselves, would so be so quick to jump right to endangering the career and maligning the reputation of someone they haven’t even met or flown with is disappointing.
What needs to return to Spirit hiring are the critical thinking and integrity questions that used to be in the panel interviews.

Just curious. I'm likely in that category and thinking about preparation for the future.
