A word of encouragement: Ignore what management says. They can say whatever they want as long as they're able to drag "negotiations" out under the RLA. But if Spirit pilots have the fortitude to wait out a release to self-help by the NLRB, the sky's the limit. Faced with the very real prospect of having 100 of their planes parked indefinitely, management will surely change their tune. Until then, it's all posturing. Don't let it get you down.
