I LOVE SPIRIT AIRLINES 1. Spirit Airlines is innovative, looking into the future, technologically and logistically 2. Improving “guest experiences”. coining phrases “ A’ la smarte” “Invest in our guest” and offering choices to have certain amenities 3. Committed to their communities and employees 4. Setting higher standards: case in point- OAG recently recognized Spirit’s on time performance (May 2019) and were the first Major to take delivery of the A320NEO netting them a 16% savings in fuel cost “ That’s Smart”!! 5. Overall Spirit has the best model and youngest fleet in the industry 5.6 yrs

Question 17

Have you ever failed a checkride

Answer 17

Yes two, both great learning experiences that helped me become a much better pilot and especially a better instructor.

Private I really struggled to understand how I learn best and how to attack aviation learning. Once I understood better how to find the things I didnt know I didnt know the learning became much easier.

Multi-Engine Short field- I really had to adjust my reasoning behind the landing. It wasnt landing on a point on an 8000 foot runway it was pretending I only had 2500 feet to slow down and that if I didnt think I could do that I could always go around.
