looking at the pay rates, not even taking into account the transition conflict crap, this proposal from management is a huge kick in the gonads. The majority of pilots in this company, both captains and FOs will be paid below virgin and definitley below JB's current rates for the length of the contract. Below. Current. Rates. Let me say it again, the majority of pilots at spirit will be paid below the current rates of JetBlue for the length of this contract. At fifth year pay for dos fos are below JB and Virgin and only just beat JB 2016 rates in 2020! 2020! What will JB be paying by then? Virgin? Heck even Allegiant, Frontier, and Sun Country will be paying more than that. Even Republic and the other regionals will probably be paying close if not more than what spirit will be paying.
