The problem is our previous round of negotiations really kind of screwed us. They agreed to such a low junior CA rate that an incredible amount of work has to be done to bring that up.
I guess my question what or why are we never going to see "Legacy type pay"? To me, it seems like our biggest obstacle is lack of self-worth. Please don't give me "Managment won't agree or they don't want to". No Managment "wants" to give anyone anything, that isn't exclusive to Spirit.
Okay, so you're saying it's the pilots who don't want to be paid. I'm not sure you're not entirely right. Maybe a combination of pilots are afraid to turn down a TA, which by the way we haven't come close to receiving although we've made good progress but significant differences remain, sorry got off track, and management isn't going to come close to offering what we want because like you said, they don't want to. When we do eventually get a TA, we'll see whether it's the pilots or management. By the way, arent we supposed to get a new survey?
