Now their $243/hr blended rate and DC agreements make a major impact on us because of how our business models align. Work rules will be different everywhere and it’s based upon the nuances of the individual operation. I talk to our NC frequently (and they tell me I’m one of the few regulars that do call them consistently) and they’ve tried to make these points clear in their comms. Most of our work rules have been negotiated, as they’ve explained in the newsletters, so I can’t understand why so many people are reacting to the Spirit language like it’s ours!! Use your god-given heads and don’t react!! Think about the nonsense you’re spewing and reach out to these guys. Remember folks...the Spirit deal is not ours! It only provides an economic framework that strengthens our position at the table, AND THE NMB GETS IT!
