There's a guy in this very thread who will "not vote for a contract with a JA limitation." That thinking has got to be banished from this group, and it must be done forecefully and aggressively, since it appears it has infected even the Negotiating Committee.
Spirit pilots, if you don't want the JA language changed (not premium pay for open time pickups, but JA - they're NOT the same), write the Negotiations Committee and CC your LEC rep and tell them not to change the JA language!

Theres nothing wrong with the business plan, it's the execution that sucks. Getting the passengers who wouldn't be able to afford to fly isn't a bad plan at all, making tickets cheap when the other airlines charge an arm and a leg is pretty smart. Contracting everything out and ****ing off our passengers is pretty stupid.

As far as the JRM language goes, anything that limits my ability to earn OR reduces my qol through a change in work rules is going to be a no vote for me.

As fuel expense rises, well paid vs cheap/ outsourced no benefit labor and offering other amenities vs nothing actually become less a portion of costs in ticket prices.
