Not really. Clicked apply on a Tues night, HR emailed me the next morning, phone interview Thurs afternoon. Chose the earliest in person interview I could make, got the CJO and picked a class date before leaving FLL. From clicking apply to class date: 7 weeks.
If it weren’t for a family vacation I had booked it would’ve been less than 4 weeks from applying to a class date they offered.
So— don’t wait for a MTC, but if you’re not getting any email/phone action def attend one.

Just an FYI the three week difference in class dates could affect your schedule for the rest of your career. Might mean the difference between holding weekends off, higher credit trips, turns vs 4 days, commuting vs holding the base you want, summer vacation vs October vacation, getting stuck in the right seat or upgrading, even getting furloughed or not.

None of which three weeks difference in seniority would help much with.

Yeah, and cr@pping out on a family vacation might mean the difference between a happy healthy family, and kids overdosing on drugs, spouse finding someone who considers him/her a priority, separation, divorce, and fighting about custody of the kids and dog.

Everyone has to make their own choice. Sounds like the person knew those risks and made their decision regarding that. However given the original proposal. Yes mtc is in most cases the fastest way to a cjo. Choose your class date after that. In most cases though time is a luxury and getting the interview, getting the offer and getting the class date asap is what most people want. Until you’re in class (in rare cases even being in class isn’t a guarantee) you can’t count on anything.
Spirit is also pretty bad at letting things fall through the cracks and communication isn’t great. So it’s very possible to not hear anything back and going to a mtc where they review everything, interview you on the spot and decide whether to give you an offer is probably the best case.

This. The unsolicited advice about how much of a mistake giving up 3 weeks of seniority is low key patronizing. At this stage, everyone knows how seniority works at the airline level. Everyone's got their things going on in their own lives, and the ones giving up 3 weeks of seniority for their own personal reasons aren't stressing about uncontrollable factors in the future where 3 weeks may or may not make a difference.
