1. Jetblue doesn't have an Alpa contract. They're picketing "treatment". Mama took away the "tit", they're ****ed and rightly so.

2. You need to look at how they arrived there. They were bought and paid for, for over a decade and it's come home to bite them in the form of a huge codeshare list, medical, etc. Sometimes a gift is more of a backhand.

3. Nothing has ever been "given" to the spirit pilot group, it's always been a fight. It's also not a secret and if you had evaluated spirit prior to coming here you would have known that. It's not an excuse, just a reality.

4. I have worked at a few airlines and I have never seen more disorganization, lack luster leadership, infighting, leathargic, and in general a total lack of direction than SPA Alpa. Maybe not some of the guys currently, but certainly prior. The style of leadership within the union is exactly the same as the style within our management team.

This group needs a change. We have some talent, but they spend all their time on APC preaching when they could be leading.

This thing will pass and we're going to live it because it takes more than just saying "no" to get what you deserve.

Bowing out..
