I'm just shy of the 4,000 min but have a very diverse background (mostly because of furloughs). 5 jet types, currently at my 3rd 121.

Don't be afraid to name drop at the fair. Be cool about it, but they like to know you know what life is like there based on actual reports. Also, don't be shy. Introduce yourself to Spirit people whenever you can. Again, be cool about it. But if the VP of flight ops is sitting in the lobby at 8 AM with a yellow shirt on not talking to anybody then he is waiting for applicants to make the first move. Go ahead and introduce yourself. They are there to hire you, give them every opportunity to get to know you. The 7 hrs and 55 minutes that you are waiting to talk to a recruiter can be more valuable time than the 5 minutes you actually get with a recruiter. Good luck, I've enjoyed the process so far.

I was posting mostly tongue in cheek. I have been way luckier than most, even when enduring a 6 yr furlough, and I like your attitude as you seem to always be looking to advance your career. I feel less sympathy for those that just sit on their duff and complain that things didn't go as they initially planned.
Soon you'll be in tall cotton but keep you horizon open and apply to all you'd be WILLING to work for and go with your best option.

They are in a full throttle hiring boom! I know the class on the 7th has new hire instructors in there so they can keep the flow of hires coming.
