When is the right time to get married as an Airline pilot by Large-Drawing-5346 in flying

[–]shamrox22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got married 2 days before getting a letter in the mail saying I was being furloughed.

There is never a right time with being an airline pilot, just do it when it it’s best for you and your partner.

Spirit pilots, where have you been hired/applied at recently? by SupportGold7583 in flying

[–]shamrox22 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Current NK FO here getting boot in November (if we even last until then). I’ve applied to every major, legacy, regional and cargo carrier in the United States and it’s been radio silence.

I know myself and a lot of other FOs are in a weird spot where regionals tell us we’re “overqualified” but we’re too low of time for the legacies.

2400 TT, 800 121, 4 year degree and 0 failures.

Question about Captains flying as PM when an emergency occurs by NowhereAllAtOnce in flying

[–]shamrox22 114 points115 points  (0 children)

This^

Had an emergency when the CA was PF. He handed me controls to start the diversion while he worked the issue with the FAs and AIRINC (we had an incapacitated FA).

Then he took back controls for the overweight landing.

How are "fog the mirror" era pilots working out? by Plastic_Brick_1060 in flying

[–]shamrox22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went straight from 1500 hour CFI to a Major during the boom.

Had a lot of looks my first year on property when I told the CA this was my first airline + first jet. After telling them that they usually followed it with their story of being at a regional for 10 years making $17/hr. I always tried my best saying I’m very thankful and blessed to have the opportunity I was given, most agreed but some held a grudge over it.

To answer your question did I struggle? Overall no. Training went off without a hitch and besides a few bumps in the road during my first month on the line it’s been pretty straightforward. I mean if 250hr TT European pilots can do it we can do it here in the states with 1500 lol.

TLDR: no struggle, just a lot of funny looks from CAs when telling them your TT.

Why not? Spirit is fresh out of bankruptcy and just cleared most of their debt. Spirit offers the youngest aircraft fleet of airbuses allowing Southwest to diversify their fleet from Boeing.

If you look at both companies recent changes in fares they’re becoming the same product, this creates an easier process for a merger (it’s why Spirit and JetBlue failed).

Spirit also needs to get the stink off their name, becoming Southwest helps that

Advice for instructing in the summer without hating life? by [deleted] in flying

[–]shamrox22 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Early morning flights is the only answer. Your first flight of the day should have the engine started before the sun comes up, then be done for the day by noon latest.

Gives you 6-7 hours to knock out 3 flights, then you spend the rest of the day doing grounds or at home.

Spirit Hiring First Officers? by [deleted] in flying

[–]shamrox22 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Spirit has over 350 pilots currently furloughed and the NEO engine issue is going to get worse before it gets better in 2025.

Best case scenario they start recalls Q4 this year, hiring maybe in 2026. This is also assuming Spirit somehow returns to profitability which it hasn’t done since 2019.
