Do you happen to know what experience he had prior to getting hired?

Absolutely, I felt they didn't care I didn't have one at all.

No, but I do feel that I got hired at such low time (<4000TT, <1000 TPIC) and with no recs because I had a STEM Masters Degree. You may get hired without one but your other stuff has to stand out more.

I got hired without a degree. I had 8800 TT 3000 121 PIC from a regional. Also had some volunteer work on the resume, maybe that helped. I had 1 internal from an FO thats it. I dont think they cared. As long as you are qualified, I think they just want to make sure you aren't a douche. We neeeed bodies in those seats! 48 a month now.

Wasn’t long ago they were concerned a degree meant you were a “flight risk” for a Legacy

That is true... I personally believe a degree will hurt you going forward because UAL and DAL are ramping up the hiring to 100 a month or so. Most people have a degree, but for the guys like myself that don't, I think its a positive because I wont be leaving for a Legacy. I will have 25yrs at Spirit now and im happy about it. Longhaul aint my thing! LOL

I have no degree, my application has been in with 2 internal captain recs since 5/11/21. I’m currently doing long haul international corporate which is killing me! Hoping to hear from Spirit soon as I’ll have a 28 year career there.
