PO, like all Spirit pilots on the seniority list, choose to honor the picket line in 2010 (so proud to say that!). Spirit's MEC defined 'struck work' as office work too, so PO would have had to cross to remain a management pilot. He didn't burn all his bridges, though, so, I'd still reach out to him if he's connected to you, but wouldn't address a cover letter to him anymore.

Current CP is RD (former Virgin management pilot), and ACP is CG (Spirit line scum in his prior life).
