F9 guy here. We are really behind you guys and gals here at Spirit the treatment we all receive from our employers is probably very similar. Who knows we may even be married in the future? Anyone know which airlines went to PBS during a time that they weren’t having to give concessions? Ie bankruptcy or recession or terror related? Not trying to rain on anyone here at NK but if you plan on trying to make a career out of Spirit I would think you would vote No. if you are bailing as soon as possible I can see you building your bank account with a Yes and saying not really my problem. However if somehow you were stuck at Spirit would you be just as happy voting yes? I get the risks in a No I truly do, (we have a similar decision to make coming up also... no idea when though) but with all the Scheduling mess, and scope language holes, (look at the forking we are getting already with Volaris) if I were an FO there I would know that a yes just makes my FO tenure stretch even farther down the road. As a CA you might be far enough along the seniority list that starting over would just not pay off either and you just sold your Scheduling flexibility away for your entire career. If you were able to retain say 3/4 of your work rules those rates may have been a good deal, but with weak protections and crappy regional Scheduling rules maybe a No vote although costing you bucks now might be worth it to have a work life balance that you and your family will appreciate the remainder of your career.

If I have offended anyone that was never my intention. The decisions you make today may affect the rest of your career.
