That said, regardless if they meant it to do so or not, honoring the CJOs into May (?) sends a strong signal that Spirit views this crisis as an opportunity, as it should.
I don't understand the legacy pilot groups not aggressively targeting scope when their management came calling for concessions.
For those groups, some sort of concession might have been or might be inevitable. However, whatever language the company wanted better have come with a 50/70/90 seat pay rates, even regional +5% ones.
However, the mainline MECs just won't fight scope.
