So, you are wrong, some of the most outspoken against the union would rather have none, as a matter of fact back in 2010-2011 a few mention winds of a spirit pilot union.

All I want is for ALL of us to retire HERE and make tge road for new pilots, NOT supporting our union and only criticizing everything they do isn't gonna help, it doesn't matter who you bring to the party.
Who was saying all that stuff about ALPA? That's definitely material to this discussion.

Let me get this straight? You guys want a former management/instructor guy who has been very anti-union,anti-ALPA for the last several years to represent you? I don't think that is a good idea but I'm just sayin'

Hopefully someone kicks that station in the a$$ if were going to increase service, maybe starting with Tex the manager--or whatever his friggin name is. It has to be one of, if not the worst station, in terms of basics (3 marshallers WITH WANDS, power, and air). So simple a caveman can do it, but leave it to IAH to screw it up. But hey, Tex will meet you half way down the concourse to let you know he needs someone in the flightdeck to fuel

What does being an instructor guy have to do with it?

No one that I know of, who might be running for Local 77 positions fits that description.
But it was a nice try for your first post.

How is it that you "don't about these guys you are talking about", but you know that "one of them was very outspoken how evil, crappy, communistic ALPA is" ?

Either you know them or you don't.

Is IAH going to eventually be a base for spirit? I know y'all already have Dallas right up the road but it seems like y'all are constantly adding new locations out of Houston.

Nonsense! Nothing could be further from the truth! He walked the line every day of the strike. And so did I...so I know he was there. He wears his ALPA pin. His ALPA tie frequently. How many current and ex-union reps are currently instructors? I can name a few. Trying to slander his reputation like that will not work. Clearly your first post on this APC was to do exactly that, huh?

Don't you love it when those who can't get their own job done try to do yours?

I just look at him and tell him "he can start when I get back - OBTW, how is it that your fueler wants to start fueling but I don't yet have any paperwork? How does he know the fuel load?"

Don't let em bully you!
