For you inflation guys, 10 years ago our captains were making more money than they are now today.

at least your guys once made big bank. Other than a few ex-EAL guys, no Spirit Captain ever made what you once made. If they vote this TA in, they never will.

The Airtran, Cal, Frontier and Ual pilots are screwed now but you got what you wanted.

You are mistaken.

Airtran (and all other airlines) will now be in a good position to get released now that the NMB is hopefully happy with the outcome of the Spirit release.

If Spirit would have tried to go on a second strike (or back to negotiations), you wouldn't have seen Airtran get released for a very long time.

Not really.

AirTran, UAL, CAL are all Major airlines. Spirit is a National. Spirit's TA will not have any detrimental effect on these airlines because we're talking apples vs. oranges.

I do agree with the other poster that this will allow the NMB to concentrate now on AirTran and hopefully release them into 30-day cooling off.

YES voters make me sick! I hope that you get what is coming to you! Get ready for 90 hour lines, double priced health care, anytime reserve, downgrades, etc.

No voters lost boomird, get over it. Now lets press forward and see if we can make progress with the rest of the pilots trying to finally get a contract despite the RLA hurdles.

"NO" voters did not loose, and "YES" voters did not win.

I am a proud "NO" vote, and at the very least my vote canceled out a yes vote.

I guess I'll start making my "DON'T BLAME ME I VOTED NO" stickers...if anyone wants one PM me for details.
