3- Not low cost, ULTRA LOW COST. You are using SWA (no where close to Spirit) but don't want to use JetBlue (much closer to Spirit). Me confused, why???
Here's a solution... You have a good pilot group and a strong union. Unionize your pilot group and strike! Spring Break would be the best time to strike. I mean sh*t guys, regional CRJ200 pilots are making more.. h*ll first year FOs at a regional are making more. ALPA did pretty well for Delta and UA, its your turn, get them to work!!!!!!!
Im confused..this coming from a 10 year CRJ CA, making $89 an hour? Whats your end goal, $108 an hour at an 18 YEAR PAY SCALE!!!
If you get your jollies from trolling the Spirit threads and laugh at our pay, while ignoring yours, thats fine. But it sure reminds me of a fan in the stands at an NBA game, telling an NBA player that he sucks. However, in the end, he is still an NBA player and you are still in the stands. So you can laugh at our pay, its going to go up, how much will yours go up at your regional?
