I have been called for several JRMs lately, but with a twist. They are breaking up a trip (a 4 day) and asking about doing the first day of it with a deadhead back the next day for JRM and then the rest of the trip ends up in open time for a short period of time then it's gone (presumably to a reserve that has the coverage). Has anyone in another base noticed this trend? It has been happening a lot lately. I hope no one is wasting a JRM on a 9 hour pairing. I wonder if this is a new strategy they are trying?

I think they simply think they are overpaying you and why do that when they can get someone on first year pay and below guarantee to finish the trip.

I don't know why guys are even willing to take a JM like that. I personally don't accept it unless I get the whole trip and/or days dropped with pay. They are welcome to call someone else.

Well at least the investors are excited about our salaries...

"What I find fascinating is the very low salaries, wages and benefits costs. Spirit Airlines has the lowest salaries and wages cost of only 1.92 cents per ASM, while those of Southwest Airlines and JetBlue are much higher at 4.14 cents and 2.88 cents per ASM"
"The culture of Spirit Airlines and the way it operates has enabled this airline to have low costs, especially salaries and wages"
