But do you really see VX as a peer pilot group? We fly the same airplanes yes, but while we are about to have our 3rd CBA become ammendable they are only just trying a 2nd attempt at unionizing. JetBlue is closer, but still working on a 1st CBA. When you consider the growth and profitability of Spirit, and the maturity of our collective bargaining, I think there only 2 peer airlines as we go into negotiations, SWA and Alaska. What do you all think?
I would vote "no" on Alaska rates as they would leave us too far behind. Don't settle, we're worth more.

And....still voting "no" on the current TA. We shouldn't be doing scare tactics.
