We need to make it so good for new hires that they can’t give it up. That’s the answer to the thread title. Instead new hires are paid less then minimum wage in training and no health insurance. You’d be an idiot NOT to be actively trying to move on as it stands.
You are constantly arguing against your own point, its hilarious to watch. Let me pick it apart before others.
Do you know how a pension works? You don't get your pension with a company if you stay a few years, its not "hard earned money" at that point, because it isnt capitalized.
So guys would be "crazy NOT to leave," so we should be vested 100% day 1 so these guys take it all with them? Benefits remaining Spirit pilots how?
So having us be 100% vested from day 1 will help attract new pilots to the airline? See point above you made, but then they would be crazy not to leave.
Its not golden handcuffs when people are openly saying leaving without the vested 401k is a no brainer.
"Well I have this job offer from DAL, but I am staying at Spirit because of the $15k thats unvested in my 401k account"
-Said nobody ever!
And finally a straw man argument with the training contract. Nice job!
