It's hard to watch those poor CAL guys pretzel themselves, and just shameful that it has to happen. Hopefully United ALPA can kill this one.
The 'proposed' rest rules would outlaw this stuff . . . if they ever are actually adopted.
In the mean time, what does Spirit's contract say, if anything, about this issue?
I'm not sure if it's covered in the contract but the company did come to the union a few months ago asking about the possibility of IRO's. From what I've heard the union told them to go pound sand. I don't know any of the details or how far the talks got but that came directly from the mouth of a MEC guy I flew with last month.
