Just glancing at our AIP it would appear we made some great Spirit strides, but they're still far from... (pick any legacy).
Do we hold out, risk what we gained for more? Unknown as of 11 EST, I can't seem to read the TA yet!
Just an FYI:
When Spirit signed the last deal our top rate was higher than most legacy A320/B737 pay (if I remember correctly it was on par with 757/767 at DL & AA. The only reason we are even looking at the current TA is because the NMB is buying into the low tier argument. Look at what happened to Alaska, the got way below legacy because it's not a big international company (mediator, not my opinion).
