I think you missed what Juice was saying....the pipe down on the lecture rhetoric goes both ways. To think a new guy at Spirit is new to the industry is ridiculous. I know few 'new guys' that would be willing to cave on QOL issues for petty improvements. We've all been there, done that at many other gigs. If a new guy is the right guy, why shouldn't they be part of the negotiating team? Because they haven't earned it here at Spirit??? Please spare me the drama.....we need the right people in the right positions, regardless of their SPA longevity (probation aside).
Put me in the no concession camp as well. There is absolutely ZERO reason for us to give on anything. We're über-profitable....to settle for less than an industry leading package is absurd. That said, we don't want to kill the goose, just choke it into give us what we deserve. After all, we're a huge part of the equation on why the goose is nice and fat.
