But yes, I had two internal LOR and both said it was a long shot but worth it.
that sucks. This is the type of person we should be hiring. Period

instead we will get a bunch of folks who will leave asap for a legacy.

keep trying bud!

That's the plan! Sent a thank you note to my recruiter today after getting the TBNT. I'll try to hit 2500 by the 6 month mark so I'll meet the recommended times. Jumpseat some more and get maybe a couple more LOR's.

I understand the company reasoning though, I have only been flying for 3 years now and honestly having a full winter and some more summer weather under my belt isn't going to be a bad thing! I would want the guys I fly with to not only want to be at the company but be good experienced pilots too!

I was talking to the wife today and she is all aboard the Spirit train. Especially after explaining what a lot of this actually meant for living day to day within a company.

Hey, took your advice and sent out for the next MTC event even though I was considered low time the last roundabout. Hoping for something, as this will be a huge QOL improvement for me, we just have to be persistent, we’ll get here in no time!

If anyone is going to the MCO MTC on the 12th and needs a ride or anything feel free to reach out.

2300TT with 1300 TSIC. 750 of it at a 121 carrier in the 757/767. My friend that was also hired the same day had pretty much the exact same times, but his 121 time was in the ERJ. We both had 2 internals.

Just got the invite to attend.

Before I commit resources, just wanted to ask if currency of flying is a prerequisite at Spirit like many other airlines. Retiring from the military this June and will be 2 years out of the cockpit by then.

Otherwise:
2700TT
850 Turbine PIC FW
All military

TIA!

Tenacity is the key. If there is another MTC near the six month mark I would attend again, smile, and say your plan is to show up every six months until they realize their best option is to hire you.

Yep, hopefully no more market cooldowns between now and then but yep I'm going to hit up either a MTC or job fair close to that date.

This is my second career - I used to work in construction sales so I'm used to a no meaning "No for now, but try later."
