Are ALPA and Spirit Even Talking?

Is the strike starting at midnight tonight (technically saturday)?. Or is it tomorrow at midnight? How is this going to play down with people on overnights and such?

Saturday morning 0001AM the pilots are legal to seek self-help.

Hopefully any striking Spirit pilot needing a ride home from an overnight would have a seat in first on the airline he jumpseats on.

ALPA will buy them tickets on other carriers to get them home

What's "first?" How 'bout rows 1-3?

On your airline, I prefer the last row. More snacks and fewer people.
