Our vacation credit system is one of the best. And the transition language, well- someone got fired in Miramar for agreeing to it. Mix that in with organic growth and lots of upgrades and there's a pretty positive vibe around here these days.

The point of my remark was to ensure folks understand the snake in the grass that our management still is and why those of us that have been here awhile are so skeptical when things like this come up. Understand that we are not "bitter" in any way, only "wary"- and for damn good reason.
And you, sir, have just outlined why Spirit is my number 1 choice.

Do you get Ambien? I'm used to flying at 0600 one day, then rolling with NVGs and a 2200 takeoff the next, to slide to a 1200 takeoff after 12 hours of crew rest, all with the help of Ambien.
