Because it doesn't matter who or how they run it, they will always be unhappy with it, nothing will ever be good enough.
No doubt, some pilots would rather be on the "butt kissing to get ahead" plan than be on the union "everyone is equal" plan. But it is also without a doubt that some pilots would rather be on the "I will use the union system to ensure that no one makes more than I do" plan.
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 don't know about these guys you are talking about, but one of them was very outspoken how evil , crappy and communist ALPA is. So my question was, "want another union?, no union? Or what? " crickets!!! Effing Crickets is what I got.
So, you are wrong, some of the most outspoken against the union would rather have none, as a matter of fact back in 2010-2011 a few mention winds of a spirit pilot union.
All I want is for ALL of us to retire HERE and make tge road for new pilots, NOT supporting our union and only criticizing everything they do isn't gonna help, it doesn't matter who you bring to the party.
