Spirit Wings Pilot Pathway Program
Your fast track to flying an Airbus A320 with Spirit Airlines!
Thrust Flight and Spirit
Thrust Flight has partnered with Spirit Airlines to give our Zero Time to Airline students and instructors the opportunity to participate in their Wings Pilot Pathway program.
The Spirit Wings Pathway program is designed to help students secure a career with Spirit while still working as a certified flight instructor to complete their hours.
How the Spirit Wings Pilot Pathway Works
CFIs at Thrust Flight and Zero Time to Airline graduates will be able to apply to the Spirit Pilot Pathway program with only 500 hours of total flight time. This is a significantly lower number than many other cadet and pathway programs.
Upon passing Spirit’s interview process, applicants will receive a conditional offer of employment and will now just need to complete the 1,500 hours for their Airline Transport Pilot certificate.
Upon completing your 1,500 hours you’ll enter FO training and then join Spirit Airlines as a first officer flying an Airbus A320!
