Easy to complain when you've never been shot at, spent six months living with your crew in a tent in the desert or stuffed in a box, punched in the stomach and fed grasshoppers while in training.

Your argument about having to have been in a regional to enjoy your job, understand your job or how management acts is as irrelevant as mine.

I came here knowing full well what was in the contract, what I would be paid and what quality of life factors were inherent in accepting a position at Spirit. I knew full well a contract could remain amendable for years, I made the decision and will be an adult about it. My happiness and enjoyment I derive from this job is NOT contingent on when we get a new contract.

I am 100% positive no one from Spirit management FORCED any pilot to accept a seat in class as a newhire, we came here willingly. And I don't remember signing any piece of paper that forces me or anyone else to stay.
