Were they the ones who threatened pilots with a forced resignation if they refused to reposition aircraft?

The CP and DO very publicly made it clear to the pilot group several weeks ago they would not be moving any aircraft during the strike.

My understanding is that the resigned on their own, but it could have been a fly or quit scenario.

THEY RESIGNED THEIR POSITIONS AS MANAGEMENT...THEY ARE STILL SENIORITY LIST PILOTS AT SPIRIT.

The recently resigned CP was walking the line today.

I would think the "they" in this situation would be someone above them, but that is just my best guess...just out of curiosity, who do you think they is?

The United pilots set the standard in 1985 with their strike. If you had a seniority number and worked during the strike you were a scab................period.

Good on the Spirit pilots. Quite frankly, I've come to believe that the pilots of this country are a bunch of pussies unwilling to stand for any principle what so ever.

Maybe this will start a trend.

It's high time for the pilots of this country to stand up to the thieving bastards that run the airlines.

 Wow. If only we had such management and FOps pilots like this at JB. Good luck Spirit.

Still cannot believe JB pay rates are desirable. Crazy industry.
 
Wow, my hat is off to these 2 guys (CP and DO). First time in my 13 year career I've seen management pilots stand up for PILOTS instead of pleasing corporate bigwigs/lackeys or the share holder.
 
Just to make sure everybody gets it right. PO the Do and JC the CP stepped down.

the VPFO is a @#$%^& from Skybus. He's the companies ONLY qualified Captain and is likely glad that no mgt FO's are current.

Thanks PO and JC


VPFO FUPM

ok so I have to ask.....this guy did not resign his position as VPFO? Did he walk the line with everyone or stay in his office? If he did not resign like the DO and CP were his intentions to fly for the company if the situation presented itself?

he was going to fly...and I'm pretty sure he completed his IOE but the other guy he was going to fly with was green so they couldn't fly anyway.

So now he gets to keep his mgt position.....on top of that get more money for doing that job thanks to every other pilot? Guess he could go lower than when he was the ACP in DCA back in 2001. Does he still commute from orf?
 
I met JC today in FLL. In just the few minutes I talked to him, I could tell he's a stand-guy and that the Spirit guys respect him. I envy working for a CP like that.

JC is a terrific guy and was a good CP, he had ZERO lee way to go the extra inch (which is in no way his fault) all due to the owners and their contempt for us pilots.
