Pilot Shortage Update
JetBlue has less than 300 applications.
Frontier less than 10, yes 10.
I have a friend who applied at Spirit with 1500 hours in a 172 with no college. Called an hour after applying and was hired.
By June 2023 United, American, Southwest and Delta will be hiring pilots with no college and 1500 hours in a single engine aircraft.
There is just no reason to accept less than the Alaska hourly rates.
Sometimes you have to save management from themselves.
Every airline pays the same for tires, for landing fees, for jet fuel, etc.
The Spirit pilots deserve the Alaska rates or better.
It’s just business.

Sir, I'm not sure where the frontier numbers come from. I personally know 30+ people that have applied there after the announcement of the RTP. And considering they had longer lines than southwest, delta, American, or united at RTAG, that's really hard to believe.

I agree with your point that Spirit pilots need better. But, your supporting material is wildly false.
