He/she has the same right to complain as anyone else on property, IMO.

It was great that we all came together for the strike - seriously, despite our differences, nobody crossed, and that was awesome.

But now that we're growing again, we are taking on new pilots. We have to assume Spirit hired these guys based on their qualifications, what they know. We, the Spirit pilots, would be incredibly short-sighted to limit the input of these new pilots, some of whom were much more than simply 'RJ guys' prior to joining our group.

So, new guys, feel free to complain - each complaint should be recognition of a potential weakness in our contract, and an issue you can help us fix when you get involved. We have too many guys, both new and old, that sit on the side-lines, lobbing negativity, but refusing to make any effort to help fix the problem.

Walking a picket line in the past doesn't give you the right to complain. Making an effort NOW to fix problems does.
