I am simply explaining the reasoning why none of the labor groups will ever achieve industry average at Spirit. They simply would not allow it. It's not about how big your balls are, how bad you want. How many times you vote no. Because of the RLA, you can either trade something they want for something you want, or maybe strike 5 years down the line with no gurantees still for what you consider industry average. The only reason you see the high rates that the legacies have received recently is because their management has allowed it, and Spirit management/philosophy is a whole different animal.

BBB will not take home less because he's the CEO of the most profitable airline in the world and has done an excellent job replicating Ryanair.

My sack is just fine.

I see these posts about how people say they will get their apps together if they don't get a industry average/leading contract. They will be waiting a long time and will be disappointed. In the end they will stay because they've invested too much time in the company. If it's their true intention to leave, better sooner than later.
