Yes and he circled the dates I told him I was available. First was Feb. 3rd. I think 9th was the second.

Was not planning to type and leave, thought it went well in MCO. Good luck to everyone else.

I went on the 13th and haven't heard a thing.

At this point not hiring someone because they may go elsewhere after the type is futile. We must fix the problem (pay, scheduling, benies) to attract the talent we want, not scrape the bottom. There is no other option than to make NK desirable to professional airline pilots. My faith is slowly going away that the C suite has the proper grasp on this situation. If NK doesn’t grow, it will go away.

The way they’re selecting talent it seems they’re in a better position than even the pilots think. I’ve heard more being turned down than selected.

I have heard the same thing. They are in LaLa Land. We better figure it out quick

It’s a page out of the end of 2017 playbook. Pilots were leaving faster than they could keep up so what’s the solution? They started hiring people they know are not qualified to leave, it’s probably happening again. Although this time around, I’d imagine just about anybody can get an interview anywhere with a little effort.

Sometimes decent and qualified people just don’t interview well, or have a bad day.

I’m not talking specifically about people who have posted their experiences here (sorry it didn’t go well), but sometimes “I promise I’m not looking to just get a 320 type rating and move on..” sounds exactly like: “I just want some 320 time so I can move on”.

Sometimes describing a bad mark or training flub that really wasn’t a big deal can come off as sounding like “It wasn’t my fault, I was not wrong, the guy was out to bust me” even if that’s not how it sounded in your head.

I only bring this up not to trash the guys who didn’t make it, but just to illustrate how even good candidates can get in the way of themselves in an interview. Spirit has a notoriously relaxed interview, so you rarely hear about people doing some sort of interview prep for it, but if there is something on your record, or even if you are a bit shaky on verbalizing “Why Spirit?” then it definitely would be a good idea to speak with someone impartial and get an opinion on how your answers come off.

Best of luck to everyone

I completely agree with all that Only thing I would like to add or point out is with my MTC it was really laid back and not really an interview or those types of questions. It really was a question and answer scenario with the resume you’re presenting. Mine wanted to know more about what questions I had versus what he wanted to know. They have a paper there they fill out based on what you answer. There are no tricks and it’s straightforward. Good luck to everyone.

Agreed with this for the most part. It was fairly laid back and straight forward, but I did get a few 'what would you do in ____ situation?" type questions.
