Spirit Airlines Hiring Pilots & Flight Attendants

Once
1) A critical mass of people have been vaccinated and
2) COVID cases start to come down

Cities and states will start to relax whatever restrictions there are. This will be a signal for many travelers to start domestic travel again. This is going to happen sooner than you think - likely early to mid Spring. A lot of readers seem pessimistic regarding travel this year, but there will be a ton of domestic leisure travel in 2021

I think we tend to be over optimistic on how quickly something new starts
(Pretty much every project is late) but pessimistic once it starts, how quickly it can grow (think viral tech apps).

So my hunch would be late summer/winter is when people start flying more for leisure, and as it picks up, it’ll be back to 2019 levels quicker than we imagine.

I had my septic tank pumped this week. I'd rather do that for a living than be an FA on Spirit.

Lucky, you should do a post on which credit cards someone should apply for if their focus is free or discounted *domestic US* travel in 2021/2022. Basically how can people get free flights (including economy flights when it makes sense), book nice hotels/other accommodation, get domestic lounge benefits, trip protection and insurance, etc. I guess the organizing principle is cards that give either cash/cash equivalent sign up bonuses and cards where the points, if redeemed for domestic travel, don’t seem like a huge opportunity cost. Some suggestions

Capital One Venture
Any of the Hilton cards
Chase Southwest
Chase Sapphire Preferred / Reserve (if people are comfortable booking through the portal)
I was going to say the Delta cards, but the bonuses are super low right now

Its no surprise really...Spirits numbers are way up. There is no longer a point to flying the 3 major carriers. Status means nothing, service is reduced, FAs are rude beyond belief. Spirit and Frontier now offer the same service as American and United but at a fraction of the cost. If your going to get treated like crap no matter what you mine as well save some money.

I could land an a319 if I had to. ATC could talk me through it. That’s why there’s no need for two pilots. One pilot on a domestic short haul is more than enough.

I would guess Spirit has a pretty high turnover rate. Being an FA with them sounds like an exercise in torture (and I'm talking about dealing with their customers)

More airport amusing are coming to Facebook and Twitter.

Why would anyone want an FA job with Spirit? That mob that stormed the Capitol? Those are your customers.

I'm more surprised Spirit doesn't have any job postings for airport and in-flight bouncers...

Or just add advanced combat skills to their FA training course.

It's clearly needed at NK.

@David Knock it off. Plenty of Spirit customers are black people. Look up YouTube videos. It isn't just white people.

@Jackson - more true for Spirit than Frontier. You can get a domestic first class seat for $40 on Spirit (none of the extras, but I'm content with just the hard product, honestly). It's not a bad deal.
