Nah. I just choose not to bury my head in the sand and be willfully ignorant of the reality of the situation we are in. Both sides are guilty of fake news. Barry says, (paraphrasing) "Due to upgrade times, F9 pilots make just as much as Delta pilots." This is a laughable statement. Even with shorter upgrade times, which is appearing to not be true anymore, the only way you could maybe make more money here is if A) you do upgrade quickly and B) you have less than 20 years left in your flying career. And with all the"1500 hour wonders" (as you say) coming down the pipe, I'm going to go ahead and assume that most of them have way more than 20 years left and will be out of here as soon as the first legacy calls. I'm not working against anyone. All I'm against is a false narrative....from ANYONE.
Spirit has advantages and disadvantages just like every other airline, but it is still a great place to call a career at.

You know, we have nearly 3000 pilots on property. Sure we are losing “some”, but you make it sound like everyone that comes here wants to leave at the first chance. Just because some may have a desire to go, doesn’t mean it’s the majority. Stop being so hyperbolic about it.

I applied a few days ago... It said the application was pending the Gallup test but I never got an email with a link to take it. Then I checked the application today and the application was removed from my profile. It said I had my I-Form profile to complete (the one with job history, education, etc). I went through it and it was all filled out and I hit save but it didn't change anything. I then found the First Officer position again, hit submit and it reappeared on my profile as submitted with the same "last updated" date of when I first applied. Now the status says "Under Review". My understanding was you automatically get the Gallup test upon applying, maybe not the case anymore?
It seems like someone else on the forum page prior to this has also not gotten the Gallup test. I guess we'll wait this week and see what happens to the application during business hours.

I’m trying to attend a Meet the Chiefs coming up soon. I’ve emailed twice and attached my resume as well. I haven’t heard anything back. How long does it normally take? I even took off to make sure I’d be available and I live in base where they will be visiting so I’d really like to attend.
