| Re: Spirit Airlines? Not 100% sure but I heard from a Riddle grad that they (Spirit) was hiring very low hour ERAU grads if they could pass their hiring and some pre-training training that they had. I mean as low as 270 hours from what I heard. Again, this is just from a 3rd party.

| Re: Spirit Airlines? Not a horrible place to work from what I've heard, but it's not as stable as some other places. They do plan to grow quite a bit, but nothing is certain. Seems to be a good choice for someone that wants to live in South Florida. As for the low time pilots, that's not just rumor, that's a fact. They took about 20 guys from Riddle as a test to see how they could handle it. I haven't heard how it's gone so far.

 | Re: Spirit Airlines? I'd say it's gotta be way more stable than any regional, and great if you want to live in Florida or Michigan.

| Re: Spirit Airlines? A good friend of mine who is an FO with 2000TT at CHQ talked to his old flight instructor who is involved with hiring at Spirit and that guy said they were hiring anyone over 2000TT with previous 121, no degree required and no PIC required, my friend is putting in his app tomorrow. They said there were getting a bunch of new A321s
