And that's the issue, right there. Spirit ALPA is always put in a position where they either demand contract compliance - in this case, it might delay the upgrades of 4 guys, and, in theory, everyone in the history of the company after them - and get labeled as 'against the pilots', just like they were they enforced the JA limitation in the contract, or they waive the contract (again, this wouldn't be the first time upgrade training was done with less than required notice - DFW opening), and get labeled by the pilots as 'selectively enforcing the contract'.
