How about no negotiating ever. Our contract isn’t up for negotiations and Spirit isn’t going bankrupt in the near future. Voluntary VILs and that’s it. I’m not giving up ANYTHING! Not pay, not guarantee, not work rules. Nothing!
Been furloughed and earned that merit badge already. It sucks but concessions don’t save jobs. We don’t know what Covid looks like a week from now or a month from now. We went from zero flying to flying 75% in July, to pulling back in August. We have no idea where this goes. Taking any kind of action on our part would be foolish. Let BLM or protests grab headlines and Covid fall from the headlines and people will buy tickets again. I’m not saying we’re going back to last years numbers but we need to take a step back and let things happen.
There is no hospital ship or field hospitals being built. Cases rising will only scare for so long. When more and more people know other that have had it and recovered the more they be willing to move about.
Its a bad situation for sure and we will furlough but taking cuts isn’t going to stop that. The massive warn numbers will be a scare tactic. Watch spirit work their spin machine. They are playing this perfectly so far.
