Fact of the matter is we got what we deserved! Unity and event attendance was abysmal! Most apathetic bunch of pilots out there! A recall should’ve taken place as soon as the TRO hit. We lost all our leverage after that! Not only did we sell first year guys down the road, we also sold current and future reserve guys down the road! Bendo played us perfectly! Hats off to him!
SWA, JETBLUE... all had guys pulling and fighting in the same direction! Event participation was off the charts! But hey, we got 40 guys out of 300 to show up at a picket event and guys that couldn’t put on a freaking lanyard!
For the win!
Where were you guys at the picketing event where 40 Spirit guys showed up? The contract road shows in FLL that had 10 people show one day, conference calls with low participation...etc
Apathetic as hell.
You guys want industry leading or industry standard pay? Start putting in industry standard participation in the process.
How many first year guys making $38.50/hr were picketing at the events, demanding a living wage for those hired after them? Not many.
Until this group gets off its collective butts, it won’t change. Accept it or change it, this is a fact.
