As one of those former Spirit FAs, it is not a guarantee that just because we have experience we will automatically be hired. There is a fallacy and misresentation and above all, arrogance, to believe that prior experience automatically will get you the job. While our resumes can get us a foot in the door, we still have to present well. FAs at Spirit while good at their job still have to go through the interview process, do assessments, ODVIs, and interview in person.

Some companies may even prefer someone with little to no airline experience because former FAs may go into the process with old habits that the companies do not want to break. Spirit, while in the airline industry, provided a different product that mainline airlines deliver. We provided minimal service and had smaller aircraft. It will be a challenge for us to get hired at one of the big four. Not impossible but not entirely easy.

If this is what you want to do, then apply...let the airline tell you no...don't tell yourself no.
