Again, typical RLA pilot negotiations drag out 2 to 5 years past their amendable date. Do you really think Spirit has any intention of giving up poor pilot pay rates anytime soon?

The key word in RLA contracts is "amendable". There is never a termination date. You could be working for your current rates for years to come.

And "retro" pay? Perhaps a "signing bonus." But full retro is a pipe dream.
