If you work here, it is probably because you could not get hired at a "Big 4" airline in the first place. (Cue "denial & impotent rage", whatever.)
Management knows that there will never be a mass exodus from this airline. You will be paid what Spirit thinks you are worth, when Spirit feels like paying it.
Considering the financial loss in June, along with recent fines for international violations from CBP, you will not see a raise in 2015 because it will cut further into profits for the year.
Our management-friendly union leadership will help to ensure this by continuing to string us along with false "meaningful progress" messages.
We'll get a CBA sometime next year, it will be sub-par and it will be ratified by the overwhelming majority who will be happy to get anything at all. I get that, now.
