  • Read Page 1 ... to start the interviews with the zip codes that are furthest away so they can start sending people to their flights, but even so they try to wrap up the day and get everyone out by 1400. I made several new friends and was genuinely happy with the entire interview process. My in person interview was 2 on 1, with a Captain and an HR manager. They were both extremely nice and gracious. There were no gotcha questions, mine was a little more technical than what I heard from some of the others. I was asked to read an ATIS and brief an approach and whether I could land based off that ATIS (considering being both before and after the final approach fix), what if I saw the approach lights, and what did I need to land. I nailed all my answers and even went into derived alternate minimums and the Captain seemed pleased with all of it.  Also, they did have my aircraft specs for what I fly now and...

    It was a cadet pathway program interview in the brand-new building. 16 candidates who are CFIs were there for the interview. People were nice and welcoming. No trivia game, but they told us to get to know and mingle while waiting for the presentation. As expected, HR heavy questions. Technical questions were easy. They didn't ask me why Spirit, self-introduction, or why Spirit needs to hire you. No scenario based questions either. They focused on who I am and what I did in the past. The...

    This interview was for the pilot cadet pathway program, The day started out with a nice meet and greet of all the other possible cadets that were there. They supplied us with a nice breakfast.  We then were brought into a conference/classroom where they gave us a presentation about the company and what the pathway program has to offer. The presentation lasted about an hour or so. We took a 10 min break before they started calling you back for the interview. The interview was very HR...

    Was super easy. They make you feel comfortable and ask basic questions. Interview didn’t go on for more than 20 mins. As soon as you enter the room in the morning, there is some breakfast and they talk about a company. There is a presentation and then there are some games to play when you called one by one into a big room where four interviews are taken, simultaneously there are four desks each with two representatives. They start by asking you some HR questions. And end with asking...

    They didnt believe I wouldnt leave Spirit for Delta. It was repeated questions about how Id retire from Spirit. I have no negative experiences, but it was very apparent a large portion of the interview was focused on personality and how you'd like quality of life. The interview was in Florida, and we had to pay for our own hotel, breakfast, transportation etc. They started late for their own interviews, and I had one management pilot, and one HR person. HR interview was about what would you...

    This was a great interview experience, first off this was for the pathway program as I am a 141 applicant through my University. Everyone in my class was extremely inviting and we all ranged from 200hrs-1000hrs. It began with a power point for about an hour discussing Spirit (Spirit 101), the merger with Jet Blue, etc. Just basic information - take notes. They also had you stand up and introduce yourself. Afterwards we had the opportunity to ask questions, ASK QUESTIONS. Make a name for...

    We started the day with coffee/bagels and got a presentation and introduction from the team. There were about 15 candidates there for interviews, all of which were there as a result of flow/cadet programs and most were CFI's. After the presentation they began calling people back to a room where we were interviewed by a pilot and a HR representative. The interview lasted about 20 minutes and consisted of about half HR questions and half technical questions. The interview was very...

    The interview was just as described here. Process took approximately 3 hours but interview itself only took 20 minutes or so. A lot of “tell me about a time when” scenarios so have your stories lined up. Was asked a few questions from jepp airport chart and arrival (bottom altitude and highest point on plate). Other than that it was HR personality...

    Everything went as explained here. they gathered us for a brief company intro, then started to call all candidates while playing a trivia game. The interview consisted of a HR part (document check) walk me through your resume, TA yourself, TAAT questions around 10, then a CA shows you an app plate and asks questions about minimums, MSA, FAR 91,175 questions, and some principles of flight questions, performance, fuel requirements etc. All questions are here in the database. Everyone very...

    I got the true Spirit experience on our way down there. I flew out at 10 AM and got to FLL at 11PM that night and had to cover 2 nights in hotel fees. When we showed up they were very nice and welcoming. They brought everyone who was interviewing into a big room with some breakfast food and played games which was a lot of fun. They gave us a brief run down of the company and explained what was going to happen. They brought a few of us into a room and interviewed each of us with a pilot and...

    Interview was held at Spirit IT building in Miramar FL. Met in a conference room with about 20 candidates and made small talk until around 8am. We then were moved into a larger room with desks where they did a short presentation on the company and introductions. Everyone introduced themselves and stated the current aviation job they had. Most candidates were a mix of 135 and regional pilots. A few CFI applicants as well. We then had a short break and they started calling candidates out 1 at...
