Spirit Air Pilots move toward possible strike

Tiger makes good sense as both airlines are run by the same mafia.

How about NK's investment here? They could be flown for 100 Columbian Peso's per hour. (That's about 5 cents). Maybe the costs will then be low enough to satisfy Franke and Ornstein. Hey, somebody has to subsidize this $4 fuel. Tiger is probably too expensive.

That (Tiger) website is a virtual replica of ours. Wonder if the MILF campaign would work in Mandarin?

Franke's Indigo Partners also has an interest in this outfit. Few similarities here as well? Look closely, they even have direct entry Captain positions available!

Go ahead and shut it down. After all, there are lots of airlines hiring pilots, and it will be easy to find another job!

I'd bet money that they are transferring the airplanes to Tiger Airways...http://www.tigerairways.com/about_us/

How many white airplanes do/did we have? What do you bet only the white ones are leaving the property?

Who knows the logic, but so far only 511NK is off the flow sheet. It did one leg to CVC last week (wherever that is) and hasn't been heard from since. So although it's not our oldest one, it's one of the grey paint schemes.

Too bad--I really had a hunch that all this "aircraft going away" business was just Franke playing hardball. Of course, that still may be the case...

Anyone want to take a stab at why Baldanza, JC, and Ole went down to Cartegena today?

...that there is no need for ALPA to waste money and resources on negotiating a new contract for us if Spirit management is not going to honor our current one.

...We cannot, however, allow management to totally disregard our compensation and QOL provisions set forth in our current CBA. If we crack the door, they will assuredly knock it down.

Wow. This post could have been written by an AirTran guy. Cudos to you guys for at least taking the first step towards a release. All the best.
Looks like instead of a contract, we're going to end up with a stack of LOA's. (Think Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carey..."Those...are as good as a contract. Those are LOA's!)

And don't worry about the comment from HappyMeal or Mcnugget or whatever his name is. If he's the "will fly for food" type, then he's the reason we get run over by management throughout this industry. Because they know there's always some young idiot out there dying to tell his friends he's a big jet pilot.
If we don't stand up and protect our contracts, these guys are going to get a big surprise when they finally land that "dream job" they've been wishing for.
