I don't know of any Spirit pilot who want's to be non union. The insinuation that those who oppose the current leadership want "NO UNION AT ALL" puts you in as partisan position as those you oppose.
Quite frankly, I'm tired of everyone opposing everyone. That's why we need to elect Bowland and Robinson to Council77 and why we need to elect Aschenbrenner to the interim 77 Capt Rep seat. These guys have a goal and a unified vision; that we all are able to retire at Spirit Airlines after long and fruitful careers.
I think you are right about that. If we didn't have a Union, I imagine our hourly rate would be less than half, we would all be on hot reserve at the airport 24/7.
Btw, I did not know that Bowland/Robinson was running, haven't seen anything in writing from them. Curious what kind of platform they are running on, what they would do different than their predecessors and/or the other people running.
