Well I certainly agree with you there, but snapping at what's basically still a concessionary contract because the rates (and really, that's about the only thing) are better than they are today, is exactly what management is hoping you guys'll do.

Fact remains if you take this contract, Jetblue and likely Frontier will blow past Spirit in terms of QOL, work rules, pay and benefits - once again - for the next 5-10 years. Not to mention the 2% raise per year doesn't even keep up with CPI or any of the other airlines (who are all increasing 3-5%/yr), so all contracts remaining equal, you guys will still fall further and further behind.

No profit sharing?! Really?? Training and first year pay worse than most regionals and ANY low time part 135 gig, REALLY?

Are you willing to risk that vs waiting another few months for a real, competitive offer? If the message sent to management by the pilot group (and union) is always "well, at least it's better than it was before" then it's understandable why this was put up for vote in the first place.

You guys deserve better is all I'm saying. I hope you vote this thing down and fight for market rates, work rules and compensation. It's the way things should be in a market like this, and there's nothing stopping them from paying you properly.
