We work for the absolute, scum of the earth when it comes to management.
What I'm saying is the company will **** all over the scheduling language like they already do. We could have the most awesome "union runs the solution, just get the flying covered, we don't care" type language and we'll STILL have Mgmt interpreting it however the F—- they want. Did any of you not read the red/green decision?
There's an entire page of the arbitrator describing Jyri testifying that the company could be in compliance with red/green at ONE INSTANTANEOUS SNAPSHOT and thereafter changing it to ANYTHING THEY WANTED at any time.
This is who we work for. The benefit of keeping language is they cant F around with it because we won arbitrations and have cease and desist orders in place.
New language WILL 100% be violated by SPIRIT MANAGEMENT. MARK MY WORDS
And? So this is what it is. Language will be changed if PBS is implemented. They will try and violate it and we will go to arbitration. We will win, they will pay for their errors and affected pilots will receive compensation for those violations.
This is what it is and who we work for.
2 ways to fix this..quit or hope the next management group is cut from a different cloth. If you already expect them to screw us when they can, why is it still a disappointment/upsetting when they do just that? Thats what they do. We fly planes and they enjoy screwing pilots.
Many of us have 30+ years left in this career. Take a deep breath and accept that as long as your badge says Spirit on it, there is a 90% chance this will be their objective. Ive accepted it, don't like it, but I know who we are against and I battle them just like they battle us.
If I decide I've had enough, I'm free to explore career opportunities at a pilot friendly airline (oxymoron). But I'm under no illusion that Airline A will treat their pilots so much better than Airline B.
Heros are the union volunteers who have to sift through the thousands of NCCs annually and sit down at a table with management, going over every violation and seeking a resolution for us. And when that fails, having to prep for arbitration hearings and for the 100th time having to look at Jeeeeri say "Huh, yeah, I can do that. I can do whatever I want." While his goofy head and outdated haircut bobs back and forth. Imagine having to do that!
