Spirit was in negotiations for a little over four years when the NMB released them. Didn’t take several as you indicated. We have been in negotiations for over two years now. Tic-Tok, Tic-Tok… Your statement to the contrary is ignorant of our most recent and relevant strike, by a like carrier.

Same sort of threats baldanza made to the spirit pilots. Baldanza tried replacing his pilots, how did that go? At the time they were a privately held company. Only one person calling the shots. What happened? He lasted what a few days? Whole strike didn’t last a week. I guess we now know who was bluffing who? Just like we will here. Regardless, I can only speak for myself, I’m not ready to walk the line, I’m ready to walk away.
