Spirit mec, please release info on new ta!

[StaySeated]

Not only NO but H%$L NO.

First, nice work Spirit Pilots.

Second, the ALPA C&B's do in fact allow MEC ratification of CBA's under ARTICLE XVIII, Section 2.

Has the Spirit MEC established that the membership must ratify? That would be unusual considering the fact that most MEC's like to keep the MEC ratification option in their back pocket as a negotiating tool. It provides some leverage in very unique circumstances.

With that being said, I highly doubt that an MEC would ratify a CBA after self help.

Regardless, you should be proud of your unity and resolve. I sincerely hope that the TA is everything that you deserve.

Most MEC's can only ratify in case of urgent need and then it has to be re-ratified by the pilot group within a certain period of time, usually 30-90 days. Each individual CBA addresses this issue. The ALPA bylaws do not trump the CBA if the CBA requires member ratification.

Spirit pilots and their MEC did a wonderful job of getting a TA. Now getting the pilots to approve it is the next step. I think they have a leading TA and why after reading the whole TA they don't accept it would amaze me. They did it right and I hope other carriers will learn from it. Unity is a must if you go into a strike.

Yep, I know that. None the less, he should understand that he's not going to see things in a timely manner.
