Very cool hearing about the philosophy. I guess it just stems what you grew up with, if you're used to hand flying everything, that's probably what you would do. The Airbus, being as automated as it is, is probably less "designed" to hand fly, I'm guessing.
I love the old architecture and history of not only training areas (didn't really know too much about it), but of the old airports and terminals. The glam and glitz of the Pan Am days, T5 in New York, iconic structures and control towers, it's all so interesting.
Yes, very cool picture.

In the sim, there isn't too much hand flying, currently. While this profile is a bit different (they lose the engine AFTER T/O and AFTER they get the A/P on - we'll get a V1 cut, every time) and their procedures and call outs are slightly different, this is a pretty good representation of how Spirit wants it done in the sim right now.
HOLY CRAP!
Did you see the PNF turn off the T.O. and Turn off lights just after gear retraction? What a wanton disregard for safety! Oh, THE HORROR!

The most important thing you need to know about the Miami Airbus facility... The Cuban coffee joint across the parking lot out the back door is amazing.

Just make sure you have your Fl Conceal Carry with you. I love MIA.

It may go deeper than that because the MEC reviewed the UHC policy and acted as the company's advocate in changing insurance companies. There is a thread about it over on Spiritpilotboard.net

I've done a lot of looking into Spirit and everything seems great except I looked at the bid packet for ACY and most of the lines are not commutable. Is it any better in LAS, DFW, or FLL? Since Spirit is flexible and nimble and probably will open and close bases during a career there, I was hoping they would at least make commutable work blocks. Any info on this is appreciated.

Does any airline management really "love" their employee group?
