ie anything more specific than day/night/IFR/ basic hour breakdowns?

I’m not sure anyone knows what they’re looking for qualification wise. A good looking resume with all that information was all that was needed. They have a prefilled sheet of paper with questions to go over and write the answers down. Seems like most were around 10-15 minutes maximum. Hopefully you hit the spot on what they’re looking for. Good luck.

The company clearly doesn’t care if they can be this selective.


and those pilots clear don’t remember last contract negotiations.

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
