Oh, and yeah Mr. "I'm typed in a 747" but I've got no time in it. I list it as my position on here and I have the sticker in my flight bag. Real impressive dude. Don't let the door hit you...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Spirit isn't perfect, and far from it. It is a sweet place to work, but we can make it better. WE have to act and change the culture. Pilots can change the culture - we just have to engage those around us who damage the product. We must demand standards be kept! The pilots who don't speak up are ones empowering the rest of the team to continue with their substandard behavior. Speak up! And I don't believe the "it's not my job" crowd. It IS your job. If you sit and look through the cockpit window at inadequate service and let the plane fly like that OUR customers suffer and so do we. Do nothing you are partly responsible. Especially if you are PIC. You're a manager. A team leader. It's in the FOM. The company supports that you are a manager and leader. They can't have eyes everywhere that's why they have US. If you don't think so, resign and let a leader take your shoes. This company is trying to grow, and while I'll demand pay commensurate, I'll act like I deserve it at least.

And, let's stop referring whiners!

Sorry, rant over. And sorry for our sick brother. Let's help him if we can.

BUT, open time sucks this month!

A Spirit Sirlines new hire collapsed in class. He's in the hospital, recovering from unexpected brain surgery.

As a new hire, he wasn't covered by insurance.

Any and all help is surely appreciated.

Disgusting that benefits are not offered on day 1 of class! There is no excuse for this; and it MUST be addressed during the next round of negotiations.

What ever happened to the "better spirits" fund?

As we continue to grow in numbers, sadly the occurrence of these medical issues and disabilities among our own will increase.
