2. Have DUIs or other misdemeanor charges that would not allow them to move to a legacy carrier.
3. Carry a large debt burden (student loans, etc.) and would vote for any immediate increase in pay.
4. Are within 10-15 years of retirement and will not leave Spirit, however they would be willing to vote for an immediate increase in pay vs. losing more time at the current pay scale.
5. Will not upgrade without a new aircraft order.
Hopefully we will get some more information after the August meeting.
. Thanks troll but no thanks. I'll continue to fly around 37 hours a month and get paid for 90 to 95 hours (with +15 days off) than vote for a contract that is industry substandard. The current contract is a complete joke in efficiency and you have the opportunity to change it and you're too stupid to do so. The longer you and your management clowns drag this out the more it's gonna cost you. Do you really want us to shut this place down??? 🔥🔥🔥
We did before for 5 days
