The Juice

And I think that is the theme with the gate agent position in general. I dont think it matters much if their paycheck says Spirit on it or not. It is not a career profession by any means and the effort you see from a particular airport is more indicative to the city in general and the hiring at that particular station, not what the paycheck says.

So like you said, ATL will suck no matter what happens.

I hope the guys/gals in MYR and ACY will be offered their current job when the new outsourced company takes over, which they probably will. I have seen regionals swap ground support companies and the rehired employees actually were paid more when hired by the new company (DGS to American).

Caveat Emptor, Spirit management. Being that gate agents are our frontline in dealing with customers, I would have liked to see them bring more in-house and pay more to increase retention and quality hires, but I'll leave that decision to those in Miramar.
