Honestly, this has been the hardest question for me to answer within my own decision making on how to vote on this LOA. The only thing I've come up with is this, I have to believe there would be some minor administrative costs associated with their alternate ways of implementing the EFB/DL program. And knowing these 2 DL days would need to be done prior to your 3rd day/WU/PC, would make it a little more difficult to schedule if they had to spread your DL days over 2 months. I also believe neither of these would be enough to prevent them from implementing it. Additionally, I would guess they want the liability language to specifically match the EFB manual, so as to mitigate costly arbitrations going forward.

Lastly, I don't get you guys and your "scare tactics" comments. Do you not know who you work for? This is Spirit, not only do I think they will implent anything that will lower costs, I assume they will. If you don't think they'd follow through, you are underestimating their shrewdness. They don't get to sub $.06 CASM with scare tactics. At one time or another we've all been appalled at what they're willing to do to cut costs, it's my opinion this would be no different.
