Do the math. Again, every plane load you fly in a major market is one less plane load for the Legacies. And YOU want to "upgrade" to a legacy flight deck?
"Oh, I have another foot. Let's shoot that one, too!"
What are you talking about? Who said I want to go to a legacy? You're assuming that we all want to leave. Also, what would you have said 5 years ago about our contract? I bet any US Air guy would have given a lot for it! Inevitably we will get a good contract and be back where we need to be with pay and benefits. And inevitably we will keep expanding from major hub to major hub. And, god willing, we keep taking passengers from you guys well into the future. You see, my friend, I work for Spirit and I hope to keep working here for a very long time. We are your COMPETITORS! Get it?
