Spirit TA

[lostplnetairman]

From the Union:

ALPA and Spirit management have been in continuous mediation since 1:00 p.m., June 15 and, with the help and suggestions of the NMB, have made substantial progress and approved a tentative agreement. The TA satisfies the MEC goals, but is subject to completion of contract language and approval of a satisfactory return to work agreement before being presented to the membership for ratification.

Even with the completion of contract issues, additional details still need to be worked out regarding the important return to work issues. We expect to update you later today with further news that will be positive. However, until all provisions are completed, we remain on strike.

That didn't take long!


Geez.

 

[ratherbeflyen]

Hopefully good news for the spirit guys.

 

[OurMoney1]

Well my hats off to you. Lets see what you got.

 

[Mike man]

I guess Spirit management thinks it is a keeper...from their web site:

UPDATE: Spirit will resume flight operations on Friday, June 18, 2010.

[BoeingBaller]

Now if every regional carrier would step up and do the same...

Exactly...I'm not liking the "it met the MEC's goals" if they sold out the F/O's for the CA's I am going to angry...kind of like this guy @ 45 seconds in:

Amen Mike, fast upgrades are not happening so the FO's need to get what they are due!!!!!!!! We have a contract here at the Tranny that F'ed the FO's.

Wait to see what our negotiators recommend--remember two are FO's. Be calm and stay strong.

If only they would be given the chance...

 

[BR715]

Well done! I wish you all my best!

Only two scabs, no replacement contract flying. Win, win for all pilots. I think the pressure on scab flying is dramatically different in the new Internet world. Would those EAL and CAL guys of old, scab if their name, picture and address was plastered for all to see. It's a new better environment for getting what we deserve.
I hope it's what you wanted...big Wall Street money said settle this, Baldzana is a puppet for big business.

image what you are if you are an at will employee?

 

[SYX328]

But as of 0000 15Jun all the Spirit F/A's were furloughed. So I wonder how it will work to get the operation up and running without F/A's . As they need 14 day notice of recall.

I expect that they were able to get to a place that allowed them to reach the goals stated by our pilots in the Wilson Center polling. If so, 50% + 1 of us should be happy.

I intend to give it a good look see and vote accordingly.

Thanks to EVERYONE. Our pilots, our union, ALPA National volunteers, ALPA nationan Unit 1 and 2 workers, and all of the pilots from other airlines that either donated buddy passes or walked our pickets or donated water/ice.'

This was a group win for professional airline pilots everywhere.

I'll second that. It seems our MEC has taken a lot of undue beatings in the past. Hopefully this will put some of that to rest. I'm also very greatful for all the support from all of the other pilot groups. Was absolutley incredible. It's very encouraging to know that we have the ability to unify like this when we need to. I know others may be going down this road in the future and I will look forward to offering my support to you as well.

Yes it is. Could not be more appreciative of your efforts. Thank you, Spirit heroes.

 

[Captain Jeff]

How does Spirits TA look?

Are you guys smiling or not?

 

[Mike man]

F/O's sold down the river...

meeting today the union guys said stuff like: "you have to keep the entire package in mind not just instant gratification", "you might not like it tomorrow but in 5 years you'll love it"

total bs...we have to wait until the end of next week to see it.

 

[RJ Bum]

wow, the end of next week to view it and vote. I assume you guys remain on strike until then?
