1 Copa (Panama) 22%
2 Spirit (U.S.) 18%

Management knows this and they are giving us few dollars here and there.. We have people leaving after two three years here in the property with no upgrade in sight.
Our management is spending **** load of money on Bobs and fancy employee parties and we have the reflection of the general population who is showing up at these events.
Why would they give us a new contract.

I am loyal to DG and crew and stand by my NC. In a nutshell, that's my 180 turn. No longer jaded since the new team took over.
