Okay, great. That proves my point that being a new hire at Spirit doesn't equal zero Union experience and an ability to work/deal with a pilot group and mgmt.

Not sure how you can tie the misfortunes of two airlines to the leadership abilities of one union volunteer. I agree, there's uncertainty right now and I'm definitely concerned. But what's done is done. We have no choice but to press forward. And now the weight of this entire pilot group is on Ackerman's shoulders. He has much to prove and I'm sure he knows that.
