Let em, it will cost so much Franke will have to get a loan...........oh by the way, which carrier? Union has contacted just about every airline out there, everyone of them has pledged not to fly spirit routes........PLUS, what airline wants to be associated this ****************************** bag of a airline anyhow.

Even though Sprit only has 31 aircraft, this is a battle for the entire US airline industry. If they succeed with their union busting plans, the landscape of professional pilots will be decimated....Sprit could have 150 aircraft in a few years and try competing with the contract they want. Look how almost everyone followed with charging of bags....who started that in this country....Sprit...

Falcon Air Express in Miami. Got a buddy from Midwest there. He says they're repositioning airplanes into South Florida for "contigency flying." Sure smells like a rat. Hope the Spirit MEC has contacted them. Not many people have ever heard of them.

Tell your buddy don't do it. They will be flying struck work, labeled and treated as scabs.

 

[lostplnetairman]

They have three planes. Pilots flying struck work are scabs.

Spirit negotiators walked out of negotiations (with the NMB in DC) today after reviewing the ALPA proposed pay rates.

Is spirit airlines as good as done then?

If everything on the pilot boards is true, then the Spirit pilots are out of options. Management is forcing this strike, not the pilots. The pilot's only other choice is to capitulate, and suffer even worse at the hands of truly rotten management.

Good luck to all the Spirit pilots.
