It was the Alaska arbitration, your airline, in which the arbitrator stated that your airline “can’t compete against DAL, AMR, UAL on the basis of network....” “it must maintain low costs to compete successfully.”
With do respect, coming onto a Spirit Ta forum telling pilots to hold out for industry standard scope and rates; all the while your airline allowed a Pandora’s box of LCC crap to be poured out in an arbitration hearing, doesn’t help. Airline arbitration records do play with the NMB and are clearly referable to management like Spirit, Frontier, and JetBlue, while making a case on why industry standard is not reasonable.
Maybe I should go to the Alaska/VX thread and tell you guys how you need scope and how you need legacy rates once you finally open section 6. It would go over just as wel.
