How many of the senior guys would voted yes if their was no signing bonus? I'd bet not many. Clearly that's why the money is skewed to the senior guys. ALPA is just plain buying votes and pulling up the ladder. For the Company this is a Dream Contract, I'm sure that can't believe how easy ALPA rolled over and gave up the work rules. That was easy. Great job Bendo! You're clearly worth every penny Spirit pays you
Thank you for proving my point. In fact you and all of the other really dissatisfied “no” voters need to apply to non-ALPA carriers now. You will never find what you want now at Spirit Airlines.
Now I believe this contract with substantial increase in wages will change people’s lives. It could also afford people to build a considerable war chest for the next negotiation. Too many people have been making crap wages in this business for too long. You can call it shiny object syndrome but money in the hand now is huge to a majority of the pilot group.
By taking care of a lot of the basic needs now will enhance a more enthusiastic fight in the future.
