Anyone know when the next MTC will be? I sent an email last Wednesday and haven't heard back. I know Frontier has one in November so I'm hoping Spirit has one coming up soon too. I'm also looking for a little advice. I have 1660 hours, 1100 PIC turbine, ~500 ME PIC Turbine. Mostly DHC-6 and Caravan float planes and jump ships, etc. At the moment I'm sure my app isn't getting looked at because I don't have my ATP, but am qualified for full unrestricted with written in hand, just need the ride. I'm considering going to ATP Jets or Aerostar for their accelerated A320 class. I've do have 4 CJOs with regionals, and actually have a class with piedmont scheduled mid November, but I have so little interest in the possibility of getting stuck at a regional I'm genuinely willing to buy a type if it will allow me to "skip the line" so to speak. Anyway, I welcome your thoughts and input.

They have partnerships with some flight schools like atp although idk if there are more. They will take cfi with no atp at atp min. But you have to pay for ctp and a jet transition course out of pocket so that’s around $22,000 before you start. If you don’t work for one of those partnered schools they’ll hand you a cjo contingent on you getting an unrestricted atp.

Yep, this is correct. And there are no gotchas. They aren’t a CFI, not tied to a flight school…Happy for them the timing of the job market is what it is.
They did get their CTP at a regional but were allowed to leave during training for Spirit.

Hi all, this is actually my first post on this forum, thanks to all of you for the valuable info. I've been trying to start the application process on the Spirit website but it doesn't seem to work. I filled out the entire page (Resume, name, hours, certificates, etc...) and when I clicked the "Submit Profile" button at the very bottom, the whole page just cleared and nothing seems to have happened. I tried a second time, this time connecting with my LinkedIn account and filling it all out again. The same thing happened. I then clicked the "Returning Candidate? Log back in" button, but I'm told the credentials I previously used (on the application page) are incorrect. So my understanding is that none of the information I previously entered has been used.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Pretty frustrating. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to spirit IT! I assure you technical problems don’t get any better on property.
To try and be helpful, you should be able to log back in to your original attempt to update resume. Are you able to get back in? If not I’d suggest 3 actions, try and recover the account, reach out to the MTC email, apply again with a different email.
