If youre interested in Spirit as a career, understand that the TRO directly affects you. Have fun with that $ 38/ hour pay and no chance for OT in the near/far future. The weak MEC condemed you to earning less to fly 228 people around than you can make in a 90 seat RJ.
Contract 2020
Just because they decided to extend the TRO does NOT mean the "evidence" is now fact. We can easily decide to stop negotiating and go to court. The MEC has decided this is not the best course of action and rather than tie up ALPA funds and time in a finger pointing game we decided to comply and continue negotiating. If you really want CBA 2020 we can go ahead with your battle in court. This would most definitely extend the timeline to a new contract.
