Spirit - IT'S ON !

[N813CA]

Comair of course will always take you where you need to go. (can't help it if they take you out of CASS, but you are always welcome in the back). Comair had everyone's support during their strike.

Ya'll are welcome here at Southwest.

Hold the line and don't let up.

I've had many Spirit folks on our jumpseat in/out of FLL/DTW. You guys/gals are a great group of people and deserve better. Stay strong.

Quick question. When the Spirit guys walked out, what did the guy's in the out stations do? Did they fly back or are they chillin in their hotels?

I am spitballing here but I would guess that they would just jumpseat home from wherever they were.... I sure wouldn't hang around if a strike was going on...

ALPA was trying to give the company some benefit of doubt and try to get a feel for how negotiations were going the next few days after the deadline and were planning on leaving the crews in the out stations for a few days. So if we settled they could just jump back on line and go.

Spirit airbi have a 72 hour airworthiness window, so after Monday the airplanes will need MX to get them going again.

Does anyone know if this is a normal seasonal increase?

What difference would it make? As long as they are not flying under Spirit's name they can benefit from the strike. Somebody has to fly the passengers.

Increased flying on Spirit's routes by the competition is encouraged by the Spirit MEC to put pressure on management.

Just talked to some buddies at Falcon... most of them are furloughed ALPA pilots... they all called in sick. what the guy said above about not blaming the whole pilot group is true. GOOD JOB TO THE FALCON PILOTS FOR SHUTTING IT DOWN!

Someone might want to tell the FO that worked that flight yesterday to take his resume off the internet. His name, phone numbers and address are all there for people to see.

For FI moderators.. I am not naming names nor am I advocating any action against this person. I am only saying that some who knows him may want to suggest he remove this information from public view.

good luck Guys!

In October. What month is it now genius?

 

[Crzipilot]

Well isn't the owner of gulfstream a well known scab anyways? Wouldn't be surprised at anything he does....

 

[BeCareful!]

Not sure I recall a Freedom strike. Cuz that's the only reason one could possibly earn that name.

j41driver,

becket is a west pilot....they use the scab label improperly. Water's down the meaning of it, but it makes them feel better about themselves.

 

[BeCareful!]

Are there any Spirit pilots on this thread? Please let us know when there is a need and/or a way to donate to your cause!

Thank you--please contact the strike center at 954-922-0942.

How many Continental Scabs did ALPA forgive in order to get the union on the property?
