Spirit T/A Details?

[Splert]

I will be the first to say, it has been verified by the MEC, 3k for Captains and 7k for FO's signing bonus. No retro, No overides (night, international is still same BS). NO MORE PER DIEM FOR OUT AND BACKS!! Pay increase of 10% for Captains, 18% for FO's. $0.20 increase in per diem, no international per diem. Training department keeps their lucrative pay, FO's will always be below Allegiant, JetBlue, Airtran for full length of contract by a longshot. 66 per hour 3 year pay, 4 year 69 an hour!! One single sick bank now. Still have 4 day off between pairings. Reserve has a convoluted system of periods. Senior FO's make out the best. Health care costs increase from 8%-15% depending on situation. Did I miss any of the key points of this crap TA? I am sickened to think I put my job on the line for this! Why did we even strike, we were promised pay parity or shut it down! I was ready! So was everyone else. VOTE NO!! This TA is in the "Spin machine" right now, of course they won't let you see it! Get ready for them to sell it to us all. To my fellow pilots: I am sorry we have let you down and I am embarrassed over this TA! VOTE NO!

Your MEC must have learned something from Corporate to settle for this.

Now it is in the hands of the pilot group to decide.

After reading these details, I have to urge a yes vote.

This is a win-win contract. It keeps the pilots at regional airline turbo-prop pay, and keep the rest of the money flowing where it belongs, the executive suite.

Vote yes!

(If you find any no voting heretics, just tell them that uncle Frank endorsed the TA to help convince them)

Huh? Didn't your MEC tell the company to pound sand whey they offered a much better deal than this? What happened? Or is the above inaccurate?

Boom,

You didn't sell out, but your MEC might have. Doesn't sound stellar by any stretch of the imagination. Why would they possibly have 'settled' on that?

I hope your intel is wrong but it sounds like you know the details.

Man, that chick on the left sure is flat

Hey Mike this whole thread and all the others on this topic are pure speculation. We haven't seen the TA. Personally I think we should be patient and let the process run it's course.

 

[airlinepilot]

Wow, how could any MEC be happy with sub-par pay and benefits.

Blaming Alpa is like going to a restaurant, getting a bad meal and blaming the manufacturer that made the oven...

If that contract is not JB or better I would vote it down... Dont settle you guys are a cash cow and they can afford it
