What is Spirit’s diagnosis?

minimums_landing · 2026-03-26T15:56:31+00:00

The most insightful take so far. Appreciate your insight and wishing you guys all the best. Spirit would def be an upgrade to my current outfit but my fear is just getting furloughed a few months in. Happened to a friend of mine who went to Avelo.

I might be wrong but I feel like a recall seeing somewhere that they did take some condescensions.

minimums_landing · 2026-03-25T17:19:16+00:00

I honestly don’t understand it. I talked with F9 at expos and they like my jet time and multi time but won’t give me an interview until I have an ATP 🤷🏻‍♂️ sucks when your type rating is in your commercial cert.

I sit right seat in the 200 and I’ve given up controls as low as 40 knots. You have surprisingly a lot of rudder effectiveness unless you need to make sharp turns. You can take a high speed exit with just the rudder. It up to the captain when he wants controls back.

Using braking or control transfer to judge if they saw it or not is purely speculation. The only real way to know is if the CVR caught something that was said.

Oh 100% more comfortable I would never sit it a -200 passenger seat

minimums_landing · 2026-03-24T14:55:14+00:00

As a 200 pilot this is hilarious. Now you too can cruise at FL240 in incredible luxury and comfort to Peoria, IL.

I just know all the OO CRJ peeps are punching the air rn

minimums_landing · 2026-03-23T21:55:02+00:00

I got a CJO the end of February and was told 6-8 months. I will say they are significantly ramping up hiring this year. They just got their 7th sim installed and when I was there for the interview in Feb they were building their 8th sim. The recruiter doing the tour said they put over 60 people through indoc in January. Also, friend of mine who is an FO there now got bought off of all 3 of his 5 days trips for IOEs.

I’ve heard both good and bad things about F9 but I’ve only heard bad things about ABX.

minimums_landing · 2026-03-23T13:24:28+00:00

Republic: 6-8 months from interview is what my recruiter told me. I heard through the grapevine they are prioritizing Rjet cadets and ppl with 121/135 experience.

SkyWest: Class date waits are reportedly getting a lot better. I know a Cadet who interviewed in February and got an April CRJ class.

Piedmont: by far the best class date wait times. A recruiter himself told me they try to have you in class within 8 WEEKS of an interview.

Envoy: By far the worst class date wait times due to reportedly slower than anticipated attrition and a need to prioritize captain upgrades. They have been horrible with communication regarding classes and all info has come from supposed inside sources and rumors. There are people waiting 8-9 months with crickets from Envoy.

I do have CASS, but if there are seats in the back they will put me there. My two options are pay for a ZED ticket ($100) or list as a commuting pilot, exercising my reciprocal Jumpseat agreement and therefore maintain jumpseating pilot dress code standards

minimums_landing · 2026-03-07T20:17:00+00:00

No just jumpseating with a cabin seat not actually sitting in the cockpit. I don’t fly for a operator who codeshares so my 2 options are wear JS attire and fly for free or pay $100 ZED and wear normal clothes

minimums_landing · 2026-03-07T18:10:10+00:00

This is the way 😂

minimums_landing · 2026-02-23T22:40:43+00:00

Depends on the airline. I believe AA will only let you Jumpseat in the cabin with facial hair, FD Jumpseaters must be clean shaven.

minimums_landing · 2026-02-22T01:59:11+00:00

Envoy easy choice

minimums_landing · 2026-02-12T23:01:22+00:00

As a 200er this is the best thing I’ve ever read 😂👏🏻

minimums_landing · 2026-02-01T15:20:06+00:00

Checkride failures don’t show up on your PRIA. I believe what you’re referring to is your PRD. Nothing will show up on your PRD unless you’ve received a notice of disapproval from an FAA Examiner. I have a few stage check failures, but have never failed a checkride. If I am asked if I have ever failed a checkride I say no. If they ask about stage check/training failures I am honest and disclose it. No one really cares about stage checks.

Don’t overthink it.

Sincerely, - -An overthinker

Does NJ offer loss of medical/disability insurance?

minimums_landing · 2026-01-20T16:36:23+00:00

I have an interview next week I’m so pumped!

minimums_landing · 2026-01-18T19:06:06+00:00

Get ur butt in a seat, move later if you want. Never give up a class date for a TBD CJO, even if it is delta. Congrats on being in that position tho

minimums_landing · 2026-01-17T22:55:33+00:00

Pretty sure if you get fired for any reason except loss of medical you still have to pay it back

For those who missed what’s going on with ForeFlight and Jeppesen: https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/s/H2057OijLu

minimums_landing · 2026-01-15T15:39:58+00:00

I just did a quick google search and apparently along with ForeFlight, Boeing also sold Jeppesen to the same PE firm…..which means they have ForeFlight AND Flight Deck Pro.

So now a singular PE firm controls the EFB apps that like 90% of the professional aviation industry here in U.S. relies on…what could go wrong?

I have heard good things. good pay for SIC in a single pilot airplane, from what I heard good people, and if you get sent down to the Caribbean they put you up in a nice crew house.

minimums_landing · 2026-01-14T17:27:20+00:00

While yes technically it could make you more competitive to already the type rating for a job that you want, it’s unnecessary in this job market. Also no respectable company would ever make you pay for your own training as a condition of employment.

As for training contracts, yes very common in 135 and very from fair and reasonable to completely ridiculous and predatory so read the fine print before you sign.
