Spirit T/A Details?

[XRMEFLYER]

To all Spirit Pilots: Thank you for standing up for our profession. Its about time someone had the courage to take a stand. Hopefully those of us at Airtran who are most likely next will show as much unity and resolve as you guys did and begin to restore some of the pay and benefits that I thought this job entailed when I signed on 10 years ago. My hat is off to you.

With that said, are there no details of any kind to put out nearly a week after returning to work? If not, when are you being told that you may have something to put to a vote?

Really amazing how quiet it has been concerning details.

the end of the week... that's what they say...

As a Spirit pilot...I am almost certain that we let everyone down.

We have ZERO details regarding any part of the TA...only rumor and speculation. The MEC's war cry during the last several months has been "pay parody" we will not see that this year or by the end of the contract (according to rumor) and with ZERO details coming and it has been a week now (well 6 days) I am starting to think the MEC sold out the pilot group and we will be the guys who walked off the job to come back for the same pay and worse work rules.

In the spamec-fastread of 6/19 it was suggested that we "not allow speculation or spin to undermine our hard fought unity."

Patience is important here. The MEC still has a lot of work to do to get the document out to all of us.

Well I hope that is not the case. I will continue to hope for the best.

Well, if the Spirit pilots aren't happy with the TA, you vote it down, go back to the mediator, and go from there. One would hope that the pilots of Spirit made it clear to their MEC as to what their expectations were, who then directed the negotiators, who then brought back to the MEC what the pilot group demanded.

Maybe you guys got an acceptable contract and they're just working on final language before they release it. That could take several days if there were a lot of areas of the contract negotiations that were open with no final language before that final agreement was reached.

You seem to have won a leading contract that needs to have language to make it clear what it is. Don't start attacking your MEC, let them finish the language. Leaving it vague is a very bad idea.

 

[Skyboy722]

If you vote it down, you go right back on strike, right? Hopefully they wrote that into the return to work agreement. Or does it go without saying?

Pulling down the lines prior to an acceptable and ratified TA was foolish.
