I'm sorry I called you out. I shouldn't have without reading all the posts. I'm short sided and narrow minded when it comes to people who just enter the conversation with no past posts and no real history. Obviously, you have the inside track on Bob. He's a great guy and if you're a friend of his, you're a friend of mine. Let's grab a beer... Your buying though, with that corporate salary and all! 🍻

I would love to grab a beer sometime and of course it will be my treat..I would love to hear your opinions on how to improve this industry..if you are ever in the south Florida area you name the place I'll be there. That is how people in my position make things better..by listening to YOU. Everyone is so quick to criticize the decisions made and as leaders we are not here to make friends we are here to run a successful and profitable business so you and your colleagues can provide for and support you family. With that objective in mind there are a lot of good companies out there that have created a very positive work environment for a lot of people such as yourself..so when someone like Bob comes into a company like Spirit he has to figure out how to improve your overall performance as a company and since nobody likes change he is met with hostility and skepticism but let's look at the numbers..customer complaints are down considerably, OTP is trending upwards..these are two metrics that are essential to profitability and reliability..it may not seem like it right now it may seem hopeless but there is light at the end of the tunnel..you will get a new agreement but you can't expect to get an industry leading deal overnight and give up nothing in return. I genuinely hope I'm wrong but decades of experience tell me I'm not.

As for my low post count..even you had 8 posts at one time..maybe you will change your opinion one day when my post count reaches whatever is considered an acceptable level here..but in the meantime I challenge you to keep an open mind when someone with relevant experience goes advice..I don't put you down for sharing your opinion so try to give me the same courtesy.
