After reading Urinal's email about security policies and our responsibilities, then reading the financial news that just came out today about Spirit's earnings, I am just dumbfounded that any pilot would help this company out at all. I'm an older guy that has health concerns like most older guys have and watching several of our pilots go down with a medical and getting no help from the company seriously concerns me. Long-term disability may not mean that much to you younger guys right now but I could potentially lose my home and the ability to take care of my family if something were to happen to me for an extended period of time. It's just infuriates me to think of Bendo and the company dragging their feet and denying us all the long-term security that we all deserve. For all of you out there helping the company in any way, you are doing the entire pilot group a serious disservice.
Right on! I hear what your saying.
I used to be one of those young guys that never thought anything would happen and thank God nothing has, but I'm also old enough to realize something could.
I am fortunate and have made some very good decisions backed up with a lot of luck. I have something to fall back on because I have never trusted this place to do the right thing.
Our pilot group really needs to open it's eyes. Great earnings reports, CEO record pay, management bonuses way up, yet we are paid an all time industry low. American just gave their pilots a pay raise and it's not even contractual. Because it was the right thing to do is what the CEO is quoted saying.
This place wants everything yet wants to give nothing. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP.
Just want to thank all the company butt kissers out there. You can thank the rest of us later when we get a new contract for you. You are a bunch of sheeple.
