Yes, I'm a Spirit captain and yes I would like to have the door hit me on the way out to Delta or United.
By all means, unless you're a fairly new CA, you're senior to me, so shove off and chase the legacies. As far as the guys helping out in the occ, I'm sure they're looking for some sort of management spot and probably dont have a desire to leave. We still have an opening for a chief pilot. Also, if our MEC signed off on helping the company out, how is big ALPA gonna come down on guys that helped out with the MEC's blessing? Including the MEC chair? I'm against guys going in and helping out, and the little thought that this would help us in the negotiating process seemed to backfire. Not much recognition from management other than a couple of Atta Boys.
