Are ALPA and Spirit Even Talking?

[Mike man]

It's really up to the investment firms, they're willing to lose a week or two worth of revenue to break the will of the pilots. I think they are misreading the level of anger of all commercial pilots as well as the middle class. I know I'm tired of giving up pay and bennies so a few fat cats can enrich themselves. I know it's more than pay, it's about being powerless against someone who continues to take advantage of you. This is where the burn it down / f it comes from.
I feel the same at UPS, it's not about money, it's the fact they furloughed when they didn't have to. They are just showing us they have power over us, demoralizing us for the next contract, reducing our expectations for the next contract.
There's a revolt afoot and it about your pride and soul not money.

Don't worry the CEO got his bonus...

Some idiot on airliners.net has said management dropped the whole longevity based on hours flown garbage. Is that true?

Best of luck to you guys!

That place is insane. How do they have 230 posts and 15000 views for a Spirit thread? Are the talking about the potential new liveries and designer A320 seats that spirit might be getting?

That site is full of pilot haters. It's fun to go there and ruffle feathers every once and a while.

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.
