Spirit was ONLY allowed to strike because they were NOT systematically important at the time. However, when they attempted this again in 2017, they were not allowed to strike.
It would be hard for B6 pilots to argue they are not systematically important and therefore, the President of the United States will not allow the strike to occur.
Just a little clarification over part of what queue believes to be true.
We don't need to strike.
Soon, staffing will be next to impossible. Already there are no shows and training costs are up due to the turnover at the bottom. Fleet plans are on hold. Operational metrics are in the toilet. This place is hurting now and would be crying for mercy shortly no strike required.
Do not accept anything less than full legacy pay and benefits. We will never be in this position again.
